Temima Weissmann in Lehrhaus · 5 May

"Temima Weissmann reflects on the fragments of memory and history in the poems 'Filling In' and 'The Poet of Auschwitz?' In 'Filling In,' she evokes the struggle to comprehend traumatic events like those of 1938. In 'The Poet of Auschwitz?,' she imagines a poet in the concentration camp who found ways to capture the indescribable through creative expression, using even mundane objects like a potato peel to preserve his words. Weissmann poignantly explores the power of language and art in the face of unspeakable horrors."
