Found Poem-Brianna

Agitation and Anguish lies in Auschwitz

Betrayed by God they say

No faith in God or humanity

Too skinny, too weak to fight

No reason to live

Starvation and death among all

Faces colorless like a corpse, just like they were soon to be

Loss of families and homes, happiness and dignity

A black hole rests in their hearts

With nothing left to lose

All that remains is hope

Hope can free them from this dread and despair

Dread and despair has created this hate

Hate spreads

Few left

They share their stories

We listen

    I really like your poem. The verse that caught my eye was when you wrote about how their is a black hole in their hearts, I thought Black hole was a really good choice of wording in your poem.

    You really showed how horrible everything was. It was good to make it less horrible by using hope as your theme. I liked your last line the best when you said they share their stories we listen, that was really good.

    I like this poem. It shows how important hope was for all of the people imprisoned at the camps.

Burned The Nights were Cold, Dark It was around midnight. Everybody was outside. Watching a Fire burn As The Night passed by. The Fire It Burned faster. Disappearing into the night sky. Much Like those innocent lives taken Without Reason. And Now It Spreads Finding New places to Go To run Taking lives needlessly. Mourning the lives of the innocent Jews

Blog Post #2 - Artifact Jacob Thompson https://collections.ushmm.org/iiif-b/assets/783591 What I see in the mid picture is a Nazi motorcade that is carrying Adolf Hitler at the 1933 Summer Olympic Games, the last one before multiple were suspended due to the Second World War. In the top left, I see a set of pillars acting as a sort of wall and a part of the main pillar structure. In the top right, I see the top right half of the pillar structure. In the bottom left, I see one car in the motorcade, as well as a crowd of onlookers. In the bottom right, I see the rest of the motorcade and the rest of the crowd.

Unseeing Eyes - Night Found Poem

Unseeing Eyes The stars were but sparks of the immense conflagration that was consuming us This conflagration to be extinguished one day Nothing would be left in the sky Nothing but extinct stars and unseeing eyes We looked past We saw danger We felt threatened But there were only petrified people on the other side There was no danger We had no right We took everything from them We were the judge and executioner We judged because we thought we were better We thought we were doing it for our people For our leader   They had rights They had lives to live Stories to tell There are no stars to see Everything in the sky has been extinguished We blew out the fire We took everything for granted We didn’t see Unseeing eyes in the sky
