There are many poems written about the Holocaust. Carefully and thoughtfully read the one below then provide a response to the questions.
Holocaust
by Barbara Sonek
We played, we laughed, we were loved.
We were ripped from the arms of our
parents and thrown into the fire.
We were nothing more than children.
We had a future. We were going to be lawyers, rabbis, wives, teachers, mothers.
We had dreams, then we had no hope.
We were taken away in the dead of night like cattle in cars, no air to breathe smothering, crying, starving, dying.
Separated from the world to be no more.
From the ashes, hear our plea.
This atrocity to mankind can not happen again.
Remember us, for we were the children whose dreams and lives were stolen away.
In a well written 8 sentence paragraph, describe your reaction to this poem. What did it make you think, feel or remember? How is this similar to you? How is it different?

Remember to post your response no later than Friday, January 21, 2011!
Time to start blogging! First of all, my apologies to all who were hoping to complete their post sooner. I intended on updating the blog by 5 P.M. today, but as the day progressed, I developed a really bad eye infection that required immediate doctor care. I was just now able to get to the blog. I have now updated the blog and to make it easier, I have closed all the other blogs so you won't accidently post to them. I can't wait to see what you all have to say! Remember to please respond thoughtfully to all topics presented. Pay close attention to grammar, punctuation and sentence structure. Your responses must be a minimum of 8 sentences. Happy blogging!
We learned that during the Holocaust it was estimated that 6 million Jews and 5 million others were killed under Hitler's orders.
Tell what you think about what you have learned about Hitler and the Holocaust so far.
Remember to post your response no later than Friday, January 14, 2011. This blog response will be closed after that and you will be required to complete a written response during lunch for no credit (remember what I say about this- it is like going to work and not picking up your paycheck-it just doesn't make sense!)
