Musicians Who Perform through Voice - Reinhard Mey's images of Ukraine leave him broken-hearted.
Reinhard Mey, a singer-songwriter, reflects on the war in Ukraine, drawing from his personal experiences of growing up during World War II. "I remember the terror and anguish of war," he said in an interview with the "Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung." War has left a lasting impact on him; he recalls air raids, hunger, cold, and the hurt of those who were supposed to protect and comfort him.
The war in Ukraine brings back vivid memories for the 1942-born artist. He recalled how his mother rushed him to the air raid shelter during the bombings. The horrors of the war, like the sounds of bombings and hearing stories about the wounded, are still fresh in his mind. The images of the ongoing Ukrainian conflict evoke these memories and emotions within him. "These pictures rip my heart apart," he expressed.
