Sonia Weitz: Holocaust Poetry

Teaching the Holocaust can be a very difficult subject to discuss and teach in the classroom.  I often share images of the concentration camps and use document based questions.   Reading and analyzing the poetry of Sonia Weitz conveys the depth of horror and its devastating effects.  

Here is an excerpt from In Memory to My Mother, By Sonia Weitz

I promised I would 

Tell the world...

But where to find the words

To speak of

Innocence and love,

And tell how much it hurts...
