Heinz Zucker
Heinz Zucker (born April 23, 1910 in Berlin , † after 1944 probably in England ) was a German writer .
Life
Little is known about Zucker's life. Born in Berlin-Charlottenburg in 1910 , he began studying law at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin in 1928 , which he broke off as a Jewish student a few months after the National Socialists came to power in April 1933.
As early as 1927, Willi Fehse and Klaus Mann included five poems by the poet, who was only seventeen at the time, in the first volume of an anthology of the latest poetry published in Hamburg by Gebrüder-Enoch-Verlag . Zucker's early poetry alternates between youthful, enthusiastic and existentialist, gloomy tonality and thematically revolves around "experiences [of] the city, evening and sea".
One year after his literary debut with the volume Poet von heute: Gedichte , Zucker published the anthology of new big city poetry Um uns die Stadt together with Robert Seitz in 1931 , which was placed on the National Socialists' list of harmful and undesirable literature in 1938 . Important contemporary poets, including Bert Brecht , Johannes R. Becher , Lion Feuchtwanger , Max Herrmann-Neisse , Erich Kästner , Rudolf Leonhard , Erich Mühsam , Joachim Ringelnatz and Kurt Tucholsky contributed poems to this anthology . In 1944, while in exile in London, he published a volume entitled Poems with Headwinds .
