Poem
We who survived the Holocaust My life was taken away from me. I was an unknown Jewish prisoner. The Germans sent me to a concentration camp. We had no food, which lead to starvation. I wish I had a different life I had a golden crown that could lead me to sudden pain. I had to march for hours and hours till I reached a point where I can feel pain beneath my feet. I had to watch my Dad being wiped by German solders. I didn’t have any rights or freedom. In this society it’s all about life or death. I am a young boy named Elie who is determined to live a healthy life. I come from a poor family. I sleep in a small room crammed with innocent Jews. I pray and pray that my destiny lies in gods hands hoping to live. I deal with father and son relationships only. I had to bury bodies including my Dads whose body I couldn’t save. I had to watch people being tortured like my Dad. I lived because I believed in God and God believed in me. We survived the holocaust. My life was changed forever. I was a Danish woman who risked my life for a friend named Ellen. I was sent for help. I felt bad for Ellen to a point where I was so depressed all I could do is fall to the floor. I had a life that I was willing to save which could lead me to sudden death. I had to take care of my family everyday. For days and days I had to lie to the German soldiers for my own sake. I had a lot of freedom because the German’s didn’t care about Danish people. I am a ten-year old girl named Annemarie. I came from a wealthy family. I sleep in a peaceful house with less, people and more space to move around. I deal with problems that my friends and family faces. I had to be in dangerous situations that could nearly get me killed. I had to watch the Nazi’s destroy houses that the Jew’s lived in.
