Inscription.  Here lived from 1942 to 1959 the German poet
with her husband, composer, musical director and scholar Chemjo Vinaver and her son, writer, director, and lyricist Steven Vinaver.

When years from now, in times of peace
The countries disputes will increase.
(For this concern may be no need):
“Well, which was M.K.’s favorite place
That the “Here lived” plaque should grace…?”

-My vote goes to Minetta Street

Wenn einst, in friedlicheren Zeiten
Die Lander um das Vorrecht streiten,
(Scheint die Besorgnis auch verfrueht):
..Tja, welches von M.K’s Quartieren
Soll die ,,Heir wohnte”-Tafel zieren…?”

-Ich stimme fur Minetta Street.

M. Kaleco
