Kurzfassung:
Presents an English translation of the poem "Death Fugue" by the Romanian-born Jewish poet Paul Celan (1920-1970), a survivor of Romanian forced labor camps, who lost his parents during the Holocaust. Describes the history of the poem, which was written in 1944 and became extremely popular in Germany, even to the extent of a "national obsession". However, in Germany emphasis was placed on the structure and cadence of the poem rather than its subject, the suffering of the Jews in the death camps.
