Hungary to Birkenau


Hungary.
Brick Factories working,
Hungarian police,
FASTER! FASTER!
Not the train!!
Labor Camp,
Separated families!
Factories for the young!
Old and sick fields!
Had arrived in Birkenau,
Men, women
TO THE LEFT! TO THE RIGHT!!
My sisters, my mother.
I left the moment,
My mother, my sisters.

    Nice Job! I really enjoyed reading this. I loved How you used really strong words. I would maybe in the future make it more of an on going story or make if flow a bit better. Great Job overall!!!!!!

  4. Dylan,
    I really like the descriptiveness that you used in this piece. I believe that the words clearly show a timeline like transition from Hungary to Birkenau. I believe that this piece clearly represents a families story from around this time.Great Job.
