Name: Atemschaukel
Author: Herta Müller

Rumänien 1945: Der Zweite Weltkrieg ist zu Ende. Die deutsche Bevölkerung lebt in Angst. "Es war 3 Uhr in der Nacht zum 15. Januar 1945, als die Patrouille mich holte. Die Kälte zog an, es waren -15° C." So beginnt ein junger Mann den Bericht über seine Deportation in ein Lager nach Russland. Anhand seines Lebens erzählt Herta Müller von dem Schicksal der deutschen Bevölkerung in Siebenbürgen. In Gesprächen mit dem Lyriker Oskar Pastior und anderen Überlebenden hat sie den Stoff gesammelt, den sie nun zu einem großen neuen Roman geformt hat. Ihr gelingt es, die Verfolgung Rumäniendeutscher unter Stalin in einer zutiefst individuellen Geschichte sichtbar zu machen.
