BBC R4 - John Banville's 'Todtnauberg'
Produced and directed by Gemma McMullan
Broadcast January 20, 2006
Coded from tape at 128/44.1
Edited from the BBC's blurb
A drama inspired by the meeting between the poet and holocaust survivor,
Paul Celan, with the Nazi philosopher Martin Heidegger, at Heidegger's
mountain retreat in 1967.
It troubled Celan that the man he saw as a great modern thinker, was a
Nazi. One cannot even say 'had been a Nazi' because he never made
a renunciation.
Late in life, Heidegger became interested in Celan's work. He attended
public readings given by the poet, and in 1967 invited him to his retreat
at Todtnauberg.
