Introduction:
This is a blog written by Bryony Bowgerald at the school of Redlands in class 9.1.
This blog is about two poems which were written in the time of the Holocaust. The Holocaust started in the Second World War which lasted from from 1939 to 1945. Although the Nazi's came into power in 1933. The war helped the Nazi's to disguise the mass killings they committed. Many historians have tried to find out how many people were exactly killed during the Holocaust and they have estimated between 5.1 to 5.8 were murdered. A new word was created for this many killings which is called 'genocide'. In the Holocaust many people were killed, though the main group was the Jewish other groups were killed. The Nazi's came up with a vision of people who were inferior to the Germans and they included: Jewish people, Gypsies, Poles, mentally and physically disabled people, homosexuals and political opponents of the Nazi rule. During the Holocaust people who didn't fit the Nazi ideals were sent to concentration camps as punishment or death camps. At either of these there were very few survivors.
