Paul Celan year
Two important historical events took place in 2020: November 23rd marked the 100th birthday of Paul Celan, while exactly 50 years ago the poet's life ended in tragic circumstances in Paris.
Paul Celan is the author of one of the most famous poems of the post-war period, "Todesfuge". The trauma of the Holocaust became the leitmotif for the Czernowitz-born poet of Jewish origin, who achieved worldwide recognition.
