RE: [Cz-L] Selma

Czernowitzers...

Marion Tauschwitz's new book "Selma Merbaum - Ich habe keine Zeit gehabt zuende zu schreiben" comes up in the world of literature and it's my privilege (and great pleasure) to present it - based on Gabriele's sensitive report on the Berlin lecture - at our ehpes.com Blog:

http://ehpes.com/blog1/2014/10/04/selma-merbaum-ich-habe-keine-zeit-gehabt-zuende-zu-schreiben/

At the bottom of the above mentioned posting you'll discover a survey of the media response and links to Marion's (litera)tour guide for October/November 2014, including the reading on the occasion of the Frankfurter Buchmesse, the world's largest trade fair for books, on October 8, 2014.

Enjoy the reading and let's all join Marion on her successful course through the literary scene!

> to finish writing) took place at Berlin's big book-store, Dussmann.
> Organized as a dialogue between Marion Tauschwitz and the well-known
> (and beautiful actress) Iris Berben, introduced by the publisher. The
> room was packed, and the interest great. Selma's poems are already quite
> well-known in Germany and often read in schools.
> They both read from the book, Marion Tauschwitz also giving a general
> view of her search for Selma's background and Iris Berben spoke of her
> love for the poems. She was deeply impressed when she read them in
> Czernowitz, in the Chessed Shoshana hall, with Prof. Rychlo
> interpreting. Berben then read "Poem", in a personal, very moving
> manner, in which Selma's yearning for love, for life, her sensibility,
> her premonitions, are so well formulated.
> At the end Iris Berben read part of her well-written introduction.
> Tauschwitz' book is an insider's view of Selma's life and writing, with
> very accurate research into the family history. She has searched family
> records, read intensively documentation and literature on the subject,
> interviewed persons in Europe and Israel, has corrected irregularities
> including Selma's correct name. She describes Selma's strong personality
> against the background of the social, cultural and political influences
> on the young girl's spiritual development. Her sensitive poetry, her
> hunger for life, her political views and her sight of the tragic events
> which took place in the last years of her life. The tragedy of the
> concentration camps...
> Selma, through Marion Tauschwitz' book has become alive again. Her poems
> are world literature.
> A lot of applause at the end, and people literally rushed with the books
> for signature.
