Work sets you free “Arbeit Macht Frei”, words that translate to “work sets you free”, carved into signs above the entrances of both Auschwitz camps. This phrase was figuratively used by the Germans to try and trick the Jews into a hopeful mind-set where they would believe that if they worked hard enough they would set free. By implying this false hope they believed that the work ethic of the Jews would increase as they would feel they have something to work for. Regardless many Jews knew that…

repetition, personification and onomatopoeia, both poets are able to portray their concerns to the reader about the Holocaust. Through the use of poetic techniques, the reader is left feeling antagonised and empathetic.

“There is an odor I cannot idenitify. It is not frm human waste or people who have not bathed in days, although those smells are also prevalent. It is the scent of fear permeating the air around me. It is everywhere, in the eyed of the men and women around me, in our clothing and our sweat.” – Rena Kornreich Gelissen on her arrival at Auschwitz Auschwitz and Auschwitz Birkenau: Auschwitz and Auschwitz- Birkenau (sometimes known as Auschwitz 1 and Auschwitz 2) are the biggest and most infamous…

detail. Yes it is me, reporter Simone, but I was too ashamed not to continue in depth. Our ride from the safe house led us to a concentration camp in Poland. When we showed up there were Jews from all over Europe. As I walked in a sign read “Arbeit Macht Frei” which translates to “Work will set you free”.

Although Dachau was…
