Photo: Sweden.se Captions Nelly Sachs was a great author and poet who was born in Berlin on 10 December 1891 and died in Stockholm in 1970. Her life is a story about fleeing, about writing in the shadow of the Holocaust and, then, being awarded a Nobel Prize.
Leonie (Nelly) Sachs grew up as an only child in a wealthy German–Jewish family in Berlin. Her father was a factory owner. Because of her poor health, Sachs was home-schooled. At a young age, she became fascinated with the work of Swedish writer Selma Lagerlöf, and they wrote letters to each other.
Sachs's father died of cancer in 1930. So when the Nazis rose to power in Germany, Nelly and her mother were alone and wanted to seek refuge in Sweden. It was a struggle, but in 1940 they finally got here – with the help of Selma Lagerlöf, among others. They got on one of the last civilian flights out of Berlin.
Sachs moved into a one-room studio flat with kitchenette in central Stockholm together with her mother, who was ill. Sachs found work as a translator and worked assignments during the day, all the while looking after her mother. Night-time, she wrote – mostly poetry in German.
Sachs borrowed subjects for her poetry from the Jewish beliefs and mysticism. And the trauma of the Nazi persecution influenced her writing, with the horrors of the death camps as its ultimate expression. Sachs's poetry is modern, with echoes of ancient religious texts. Apart from poetry, her work also includes a couple of plays.
On her 75th birthday, Nelly Sachs was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature. She shared the prize with Israeli writer Shmuel Josef Agnon.
A collection of Sachs's belongings – including furniture, books and ornaments – was donated to the National Library of Sweden after her death. Her collection is stored in an underground room at the library.
