High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Todesfuge (Death Fugue) is a German language poem written by Paul Celan and first published in 1948. It describes life in a German concentration camp.The structure of the poem is similar to that of a fugue: The phrases are recombined, which is typical for a fugue. Furthermore, the title can be seen as a reference to "death music" (Todesmusik): Prisoners in concentration camps were forced to play music to other prisoners waiting for their death in gas chambers.The poem begins with an oxymoron: “schwarze Milch” (Black milk). Possibly Celan referred here to the Book of Lamentations of the Old Testament. A quote: "Their Lords were purer as the snow and cleaner as the milk ... now their habitus had become black by the darkness".
