The article that I read was about a dangerous time that affected many people. The most affected were the Jews. back in the 1940's Jews were treated like trash. This happened at the time where World War 2 began. The people that attacked the Jew's were racist people known as the Nazi's. The Nazi's killed over 6 million Jew's because of their race. Even though the Jews were being killed, they weren't the only ones. Nazi's also persecuted homosexuals and other people who weren't like regular people. The main Nazi was Hitler who was like the leader of the Nazi's. Many Jews were being killed so German's build camps and different types of shelters to protect them during the war. But this didn't stop the Nazi's from attacking them.
In this article the author was trying to convey what the Holocaust was and what happened through it. He also wanted readers to know who were the victim's of the holocaust and the despicable people that killed them. These events were very important in history which was probably why this author wrote it. The author might have written this because he could of been one of the survivors in this war and wanted to write about it. This remained me of a book that I almost finished which was also about a Jew survivor that had also survived in the war. He wrote about this in a book called Maus. these two authors could really connect to the Jews that were killed our imprisoned through out this terrifying war.
I could really not connect to this article because first of all I'm not Jewish or born in the early 19 hundreds like the people that were killed. I feel that no person should be killed because of their race or because their different. A question that i came up with after i read this poem was why attack Jewish people. All Jewish people didn't have to do anything in this war but they were killed in vain. After the war ended almost every Jewish person was devastated. Many Jew's moved away from their country and moved to the the U.S. Many Jewish people also went to Israel. In all of the wars that have occurred in history, to me the Jews have been punished most of all. Now Know one is killed because of their race or because their different, especially Jewish people who have suffered most of all.
