edit Biography
Born as Leonie Sachs in Sch¶neberg Berlin in 1891, she was educated at home due to her frail health. She showed early signs of talent as a dancer , but her protective parents did not encourage her to pursue a profession. She grew up as a very sheltered, introverted young woman and never married. She pursued an extensive correspondence, and was a friend of Selma Lagerl¶f and Hilde Domin . As the Nazis took power, she became increasingly terrified, at one point losing the power of speech, as she would remember in verse: "When the great terror came/I fell dumb." Sachs fled with her aged mother to Sweden in 1940. Her friendship with Lagerl¶f had saved her life and that of her mother when shortly before her own death Lagerl¶f intervened with the Swedish royal family to secure their release from Germany. Sachs and her mother finally escaped on the last airplane flight to leave Nazi Germany for Sweden, a week before Sachs was scheduled to report to a

German poet and dramatist. Born to a prosperous family, Sachs wrote poems mainly for her own entertainment until the advent of Nazism darkened her work and forced her to flee to Sweden. Her lyrics from those years combine lean simplicity with imagery variously tender, searing, or mystical. In the famous title poem of her collection O the Chimneys (1967), Israel's body drifts upward as smoke from the Nazi death camps. Her best-known play is Eli (1951).

http://www.literature-prize.com/sachs_nelly.htm
Nelly Sachs Nelly Sachs was born in Berlin, Germany on December 10, 1891. She is most recognized as a dramatist and poet in addition to a spokeswoman for the Jews. In 1940, with the spread of Nazi power, and persecution of the Jews in Europe, Sachs escaped with her mother to Sweden. However, the experiences and emotions of Nazi persecution and the Holocaust left a deep impression on her memory. It was these memories of the Jewish people’s devastation that influenced much of Sachs’ writing.
At the age of 15, after reading Gösta Berling by Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf, who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1909, Sachs and Lagerlöf became correspondents. Lagerlöf instructed the adolescent Sachs on the techniques of imagination and creativity. In 1940, Lagerlöf helped Sachs flee to Sweden, but died before Nelly arrived. In 1947, Sachs published her first volume of poetry, In den Wohnungen des Todes (In the Houses of Death). Through these poems and future volumes, including Und niemand weiss weiter (And No One Knows Where to Go) finished in 1957, she laments over the horrors of the Holocaust as well as the exile of the Jewish people. Nelly Sachs powerfully illustrates her poetry by using metaphors and symbolic prose.
Nelly Sachs was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1966 alongside the Israeli writer Shmuel Yosef Agnon. At that moment, Sachs realized that while Agnon embodied the future of the Jewish people in Israel, she stated “I represent the tragedy of the Jewish people.”

Sachs, Nelly, eigentlich Leonie Sachs, (1891-1970), deutschschwedische Schriftstellerin. Ihr Werk wurde wie kaum ein zweites von der Erfahrung der nationalsozialistischen Gräueltaten geprägt. In Deutschland begann eine verstärkte Sachs-Rezeption erst während der sechziger Jahre. Nelly Sachs wurde am 10. Dezember 1891 als Tochter des Fabrikanten William Sachs in Berlin geboren, wo sie eine Privaterziehung erhielt und in der väterlichen Bibliothek mit den deutschen Klassikern in Berührung kam. Bereits im Alter von 17 Bechers in Ost-Berlin publizierten Lyrikband In den Wohnungen des Todes (1947) und für seinen Nachfolger Sternverdunkelung (1949), aber auch für die 1944/1945 entstandene Totenklage Dein Leib im Rauch durch die Luft (1947), die dem im KZ hingerichteten Bräutigam gewidmet ist. Mit dem Schicksal des jüdischen Volkes befasste sich Sachs auch in ihren späteren Werken immer wieder, so auch in den von Peter Huchel 1950 in die bedeutende DDR-Literaturzeitschrift Sinn und Form aufgenommenen Texten. Die Sammlung szenischer Dichtungen Zeichen im Sand (1962) enthält u. a. das 1943 entstandene Mysterienspiel „vom Leiden Israels" Eli, dessen Hörspielfassung erstmals 1961 im Norddeutschen Rundfunk gesendet wurde („Hier ist die Stelle, / wo man den Bäcker Eisik mit dem schlürfenden Schritt / wegen einer Zuckerbrezel erschlagen hat"). In Eli sollten sich musikalische, gestische und tänzerische Elemente zu einem Gesamtkunstwerk verdichten. Den Einfluss des französischen Surrealismus und seiner Forderung nach Sprachautonomie spiegeln Und niemand weiß weiter (1957) und Flucht und Verwandlung (1959) wider, die nichtsdestotrotz den resignativ-depressiven Duktus der Lyrik aus den vierziger Jahren fortschreiben.

Autobiography
Leonie Nelly Sachs, born in Berlin on December 10, 1891. As refugee, arrived in Sweden with my mother on May 16, 1940. Since then living in Stockholm and active as writer and translator. Biographical Note
Nelly Sachs's career as a poet of note started only after her emigration, when she was nearly fifty years old. Her first volume of poetry, In den Wohnungen des Todes (In the Houses of Death), 1947, creates a cosmic frame for the suffering of her time, particularly that of the Jews. Although her poems are written in a keenly modern style, with an abundance of lucid metaphors, they also intone the prophetic language of the Old Testament. The collections Sternverdunkelung (Eclipse of Stars), 1949, Und niemand weiss weiter (And No One Knows Where to Go), 1957, and Flucht und Verwandlung (Flight and Metamorphosis), 1959, repeat, develop, and reinforce the cycle of suffering, persecution, exile, and death which characterizes the life of the Jewish people, and becomes transformed, in Nelly Sachs's powerful metaphorical language, into the terms of man's bitter, but not hopeless, destiny. Of her poetic dramas, the miracle play Eli (1950), broadcast in West Germany as a radio play, has been widely acclaimed. Nelly Sachs has received awards in Sweden and Germany, among them the Prize of the Swedish Poets Association (1958) and the "Friedenspreis des deutschen Buchhandels" (1965). In 1961 her collected poems were published under the title of
