The author of this small poetry book was almost unknown to the literary world at the time when the book was first published in 1952. Today, the book’s 56 poems, including the famous Todesfuge, are considered the key literary work of the German post-war poetry. The book is one of the first poetic attempts to deal with Shoa in West Germany.
