Description
Summary:Born in 1915 in Vienna, the exiled Austrian-Jewish author Stella Rotenberg was confronted with anti-Semitism from an early age. The "Anschluss" of 1938 meant the end of her life in Austria. In 1939 she managed to flee to the Netherlands and finally to Great Britain. In 1940 she began to write poems. Stella Rotenberg has received several awards for her work. In her poetry, she made widespread use of biblical texts, themes and figures. Her biblical references are always overshadowed by the Shoah, and express her personal experience of suffering and loss. Stella Rotenberg wrote partly to preserve the memory of the victims of the Shoa and partly to come to terms with her own traumatic experiences.
