Paul Celan (1920–1970) was a Romanian poet and translator. He was born as Paul Antschel into a Jewish family and changed his name to
"Paul Celan". While his parents were deported and eventually died in Nazi labor camps, Celan himself was interned for eighteen months before
escaping to the Red Army. He is regarded as one of the most important German-language poets of the post-World War II era.
