"From the first lines of Celan’s “Todesfuge”: Black milk of daybreak we drink it at sundown/ we drink it at noon in the morning we drink it at night/ we drink and we drink it Celan’s poems are terrifying and beautiful, many of them reflect his experience of the Holocaust. His parents died in a concentration camp, he was imprisoned in a labor camp. Language is Celan’s tool of combat and survival, and of the evocation of memory. I have always preferred poetry and prose to fiction. Poetry condenses."

Very well written
I love this book
I loved this book, it is so well written, it draws you in and makes you feel like you are there, brought me to tears a few times. This shockingly true story is a fantastic human look at the atrocities that people suffered in the most notorious concentration camps in the second world war and the real struggle to survive just to beat the Nazi's. I don't think I have read a better book about experiences in a Nazi concentration camp, heart breaking and heart warming.
