PAUL CELAN'S TODESFUGE

JOHN FELSTINER

Stanford University California

Paul Celan, a German-language poet born in Rumania in 1920, wrote Todesfuge (Deathfugue) in 1944. During the 1950s and 1960s, the poem received widespread notoriety in German media and textbooks. Readers focused upon its artfulness, often ignoring its subject, the Nazi death camps and genocide. The process of translating Todesfuge can become a way of revealing the poem's fullest sense, as probably the pre-eminent lyric to have emerged from the European Jewish catastrophe.
