| Paratext Text | 'Meiner Mutter Herz ward wund von Blei.' - Paul Celan |
| Notes | Paratext makes reference to a poem by Paul Celan, 'Espenbaum', which is about the death of his mother during the Holocaust. The title, 'Disappeared', likely refers to those disappeared by paramilitary forces during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The poem itself is quite vague about its focus, describing the fate of those killed in poetic terms but not specifying to whom the poem refers. It is possible that the poem seeks to commemorate all the dead - those disappeared in Northern Ireland, and during the Holocaust. |
