Lucca -- my spoken German is poor; my reading ability -- well,
very poor. But, I would read Die Stimme if it could be translated
into English. I think if I were publishing such a paper, I would
take into consideration that there IS a 'second generation', but
it may be not a totally German speaking generation for the most
part.
I suspect there may be many others like myself that would read
the publication if it were accessible to them. Perhaps you can
convince them to translate some or all of it into English, or
mayhaps there are listers that would translate all or part
because they see the value of linking those still alive and able
to communicate with those who are younger but still care?
Just my two pfennings (sp?) worth,
