Poet and playwright (1891–1970) who fled from Nazi Germany in 1940 and won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1966. Two items: an ALS in German on both sides of a 5.5 x 3.5 card, October 10, 1959, to Viveka Heyman, in part (translated): "A few days ago Prof. Valentin called me requesting information, and in the course of the conversation I learned that you had published a review of 'Flucht und Verwechslung' in the June/July issue. I had not received that issue. It was sent to me since, and I was blessed with the great happiness of finding myself so deeply, so uncommonly understood. Dear Viveka Heymann, where on earth may one feel safe and at home but there where two humans encounter each other at the utmost peak of experience"; and an unsigned 11-line handwritten poem in pencil by Sachs, one page, 8.25 x 7.75, dedicated at the top in ballpoint to Viveka Heymann. Sachs notes that the poem was "written at the moment of greatest despair in Beckomberga Hospital." In overall fine condition.
