✦ Synopsis

Overview: NELLY SACHS (1891-1970) was a Jewish German poet and playwright whose experiences resulting from the rise of the Nazis in World War II Europe transformed her into a poignant spokeswoman for the grief and yearnings of her fellow Jews. She was awarded the 1966 Nobel Prize in Literature -- shared with S. Y. Agnon that year -- for being the "bearer of a message of solace to all those who despair of the fate of man" and "for her outstanding lyrical and dramatic writing, which interprets Israel's destiny with touching strength." Sachs observed at the time that Agnon represented Israel whereas "I represent the tragedy of the Jewish people."
