Danish. In the wake of Refaat Alareer’s killing by the Israeli occupation on December 7, 2023, his last poem, “If I Must Die,” posted on Twitter on November 1, 2023, was translated into dozens of language, to share his message of hope and resilience around the globe. Necessarily, these translations took place without his explicit permission, but were dedicated to his memory. My Danish translation was printed in the newspaper Information.
