Dear Eytan,
Thank you so much for informing us on the passing away of John Felstiner, such a great loss for all of us! In addition to the obituary published by the Stanford University, I've excerpted from "The Book Haven - Cynthia Haven’s blog for the written word" the John Felstiner's short interview on "'Creative Resistance' in the Nazi Camps":

What an impressive statement in just 3:15 min., unmissable! More on John and Mary Felstiner at:

Assisted by you, dear Eytan, I had the outstanding privilege to conduct a correspondence with John Felstiner on "The Genesis of Paul Celan's 'Todesfuge'" in 2011
http://hauster.blogspot.de/2013/05/the-genesis-of-paul-celans-todesfuge.html
and as a sign of my deep appreciation for John's personality and lifetime achievement I've quoted his translation of Paul Celan's "Corona" on a plate eternalized in steel in the St. Burchardi Church in Halberstadt:

May his memory be for a blessing!
