Description
Paul Celan was an Eastern European Jew whose native language (muttersprache) was German. This term was particularly painful for Celan because his parents were victims of the Holocaust. Paul Celan's poetry represents a post-Holocaust consciousness and his German is antithetical to German nationalism
