Wow, those poems are wrenching, even in translated form. They really are an open door to somebody's personal grief.

Have a look at the Todesfuge: eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVwLqEHDCQE or http://www.celan-projekt.de/todesfuge-deutsch.html and http://poemsintranslation.blogspot.com.au/2010/01/paul-celan... (the translation doesn't seem nearly as wrenching as the German to me, though).

Der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland.
