<<   confronted with the lyrics of paul celan (- the "todesfuge" was recently 
   quoted here by otto), adorno questioned his famous statement in later 
years. 
   "the ongoing suffering has as much right to express itself as the tortured 
   one to scream; that's why it probably was wrong to say that a poem could 
   not be written after auschwitz". see "negative dialektik" [1966], page 
355.   
   there also this: "genocide is the absolute integration, which prepares 
itself 
   everywhere where people are made equal ... auschwitz confirms the   
   philosophical issue of pure identity as death".  >>
That's rrrright, I've  forgotten this... long time ago I read "Negative 
Dialektik" the last time...
