Selma Meerbaum-Eisinger



Selma Meerbaum-Eisinger wurde 1924 in Czernowitz (Bukowina) geboren. Ab 1939 begann sie, eigene Gedichte zu schreiben und aus dem Französischen, Rumänischen und Jiddischen zu übersetzen. Nach dem Einmarsch deutscher Truppen in das 1940 von Rumänien an die Sowjetunion abgetretene Czernowitz im Juli 1941 wurde die Familie gezwungen, im Ghetto der Stadt zu leben. Auf wundersame Weise gelang es Selma, das handschriftliche Album mit dem Titel »Blütenlese« einer Freundin zuzuspielen, bevor sie 1942 in das Arbeitslager Michailowska in der Ukraine deportiert wurde. Hier starb sie am 16. Dezember 1942 an Typhus. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .

“And even if you clutch a thousand stars, she’s strong enough to carry myriads more. I am still here. The dream is over. I am alone – like red
wine, my hot blood is seething. You are not here and were so near and we were such sweet tempestuous fire.”
Selma Meerbaum-Eisinger

“This is the hardest: to give yourself
and know that you are unwanted,
to give yourself fully and to think
that you vanish like smoke into the void.”
Selma Meerbaum-Eisinger

“This is the hardest: to give yourself away
and then to see that no one needs you,
to give all of yourself and realize
you'll fade like smoke and leave no trace.”
Selma Meerbaum-Eisinger, Harvest of Blossoms: Poems from a Life Cut Short
