Aris Fioretos\u00a0received\u00a0the\u00a0suitcase 15\u00a0years ago from translator Margaretha Holmqvist, who was a close friend of Nelly Sachs. In 2010\u20132011, Fioretos\u00a0served as the editor of the four-volume collected works of Nelly Sachs (Werke<\/em>),\u00a0published\u00a0by Suhrkamp\u00a0in an annotated edition in Germany. In connection with the publication,\u00a0there was\u00a0a\u00a0large\u00a0exhibition about Sachs\u2019\u00a0life and works,\u00a0in which the\u00a0suitcase\u00a0was\u00a0displayed.<\/p>\n

From a young age,\u00a0Nelly Sachs was fascinated by\u00a0Swedish novelist and 1909\u00a0literature laureate Selma Lagerl\u00f6f, and the two\u00a0were in\u00a0contact\u00a0by\u00a0letter. Selma Lagerl\u00f6f helped Nelly Sachs\u00a0to\u00a0escape from Berlin. Several\u00a0members\u00a0of Nelly Sachs\u2019\u00a0immediate family\u00a0became\u00a0victims of the Holocaust. Nazi persecution left deep marks on Sachs\u2019\u00a0psyche and also influenced her writing.<\/p>\n

Nelly Sachs\u00a0was awarded\u00a0the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1966\u00a0\u201cfor\u00a0her outstanding lyrical and dramatic writing, which interprets Israel\u2019s destiny with touching strength\u201d. She was born on 10 December 1891 in Berlin and died on 12 May 1970 in Stockholm.<\/p>\n
