 * And then there were none**

The patriotic feeling when Adolf Hitler screamed "Kill the Jews!' Some were worried and some were depressed. This was a historical moment, our moment, the Jews moment, and it will never be forgotten to us as the Holocaust.

I did not exist as a Jew, but as a Hungarian. We were always sold for every unregistered Jew you found and would earn 1 kilo of sugar. We were living in ghettos that were unsanitary and very tight quarters. I remember hearing from a lady "The Nazis are taking our young infants and tearing their legs apart and threw them down the river." Jews were hanged and the trick of the Nazis worked. We were afraid.

"Kill the Jews!" "Kill the Jews!" "Kill the Jews!"

Apparently Hitler and his supporters didn't give up on killing the Jews. As his cruel thought was still going on,he was doing a great job at it.

Jews over the age of fifty were sent to gas chambers, which isolated family members and friends from each other. Screaming was all you heard and then it was silent. We were sent to Concentration Camps that was a severe punishment that we will never seem to forget.

Adolf Hitler was a cruel and bloody man, but I learned something out of life that day when freedoms light touched me. "People were not born with hatred, they acquire it".


 * Rationale:** I chose the title "And then there were none" because slowly the Jews were loosing hope because of the horrifying treatments the Nazis were giving to the Jews. As they gave up hope, slowly the Jewish population was decreasing and Adolf Hitler's goal was coming close to a success. I repeated "Kill the Jews!" because that was what the Nazis and the Germans would say during the Holocaust. It was very stereotypical and the poems that express what happened in this horrifying moment shall open our eyes and should know that this is a moment that shall never happen again.
