...was the title of an exhibition, organized by the National Liberation Museum 1944-1945, prepared by curators Pauline Broekema and Paul Sars, Professor of German Language and Culture, Radboud University Nijmegen, on which I reported at my Blog in November 2011:

Diet Kloos was born on May 9th 1924 in Dordrecht, the Netherlands. At the outbreak of WW2 she was still attending secondary school. Already in February 1941 she became involved with the resistance movement, distributing illegal newspapers and helping people in hiding. In 1949 the young widow was in Paris for a short vacation where she accidentally met Paul Celan. Their common war experience draws Diet and Paul together and they become intimate friends. Their short love story is expressed in their correspondence. The 12 handwritten letters by Celan to Kloos have been kept, as well as the three poems he gave to her, one of them the world famous Todesfuge, considered to be thé Holocaust poem. See Paul Sars publication of "Du mußt versuchen, auch den Schweigenden zu hören" - Briefe an Diet Kloos-Barendregt:

Paul Sars let us know that Diet Kloos-Barendregt deceased on April 3, 2015. May she rest in peace! Her voice survived...!
