Shoah Auschwitz war prisons Prisoners Terrible concentration camps Unbearable starvation, screaming, destruction Forced labor Mass shootings into mass graves A madman’s hell Beatings, gas chambers Jews had nowhere to hide, escape You were a hunted animal Holocaust, execution of Jews Total darkness Terrible memories Few survived Nazis, Gestapo Lies, barbarity Liquidation of bodies Unbearable Depression Everyone was deported or shot ** Rationale ** My poem is basically about the concentration camps and my word choice describes the feelings and thoughts of the prisoners in the camps. It shows how bad the conditions were and especially how bad the Jews were treated by the Nazis. The main word is ‘Shoah’ which means holocaust, and it’s the title of my poem because my poem is all about the holocaust and how bad it really was for Jewish people living in Germany and other European countries during World War two. I shows all the fear and sadness that the prisoners of the concentration camps were feeling and it brings those emotions forward into the people reading the poem.
