Persons
Paul Celan (1920-1970) was born Paul Antschel into a
Jewish family in Bukovina, a German enclave in Romania which was
destroyed by the Nazis. His parents were taken to a concentration camp
in 1942, and did not return; Celan managed to escape deportation and to
survive. After settling in Paris in 1948, he gained widespread
recognition as a poet with the publication of his first collection of
poems in German in 1952. His earliest poems were written in Romanian and
have been translated by, among others, his friend Nina Cassian. He was a
fine translator of poetry, mainly from French, English, Russian and
Romanian. His mysterious meeting with Martin Heidegger was the subject
of a radio play by John Banville.
