FEATURE ESSAY
The numbers do not fully absorb. As of this writing, 1,783 cultural heritage sites have been damaged or destroyed in Ukraine since February 24, 2022. Among them, 46 have been completely erased. The Ministry of Culture counts 346 artists and 132 media workers dead. PEN Ukraine had already reached 102 cultural figures killed by the end of 2024, and the count has not stopped. These are not collateral casualties. They are the point.

Here Comes Pablo Tabernero
Born in Berlin in 1910, Weinschenk came of age in a Europe already marked by instability. Trained in photography and immersed in the avant-garde circles of the Weimar Republic, his early work reflects a moment when cinema, art, and politics were deeply intertwined. That trajectory was abruptly interrupted in 1933, when new racial laws forced him out of academic life and into exile.
