Silvia was honored in over seventy events, including readings of her work by German writers and leading representatives of Frankfurt's cultural scene. ~ One of the highlights of the festival was when Silvia was awarded the Goethe Medal, the highest award of the Ministry for the Arts (Ministeriums für Kunst).

Against the backdrop of contemporary events....
