It was intended to be sung a capella by a four-voiced choir. In 1921, the Ukrainian National Chorus sang the song in the US, to a sold-out audience at Carnegie Hall. Later, Peter J. Wilhousky rearranged the melody for orchestra and wrote the new lyrics in English. (2/3)

This is a fascinating read on Germany’s response to the 2015 refugee crisis. Five years on, more than half of them work and pay taxes, 10,000 are studying at German universities. Over 80% of refugee children and teenagers say they have a strong sense of belonging.
Five years after Merkel’s “Wir schaffen das”, I took a look at which predictions proved true, and which didn’t.
