During the postwar years, Sachs read Hasidic literature and the Bible. With Lenke Rothman, a Hungarian-born Swedish artist, she studied Kabbala in German - L.R. had learned German in Ausschwitz! - Sachs published plays, dramatic fragments, and poems as a "mute outcry" (see painting of Edward Munch etc. - d.48) against the holocaust! - In 1954 she started a correspondence with Paul Celan ... - Sachs also visited the Celan family in Paris in 1960 - The both shared the conviction that the sole reason for their being lay in language - "Only one thing remained reachable, close and secure amid all losses - language," Celan once said... - Sachs saw victims as part of eternal metamorphosis and in her work she returned especially in the fate of job. In the collection Den Wohnungen des Todes (1947) the central motifs were flight and pursuit - the symbols of the hunter and the quarry... - In it (Flucht und Verwandlung) Sachs developed her visions of metamorphosis and exile of human beings on earth - After receiving the Nobel Prize, Sachs continued to live modestly in her small apartment... - Sachs never married, but the image of a male lover was recurrent in her poems... - Over a period of many years, she suffered nervous breakdowns - Sachs died of cancer on May 12, 1970 - Recurrent images in her poetry are stars, dust, sand, as in the collection Zeichen im Sand (1962) - She spoke with the rythm of prophets and lifted the sufferings into timeless plane, continuing the tradition of psalmists and prophets - In O The Chimneys (1967) the Jewish nation is represented as smoke drifting from concentration camp chimneys - a way to freedom between life and death... (N. Sachs, PAC)
