The Holocaust is an event of mass extermination of approximately six million Jews. These two poems convey a message about the horrific effects of the Holocaust. These are two political, angry and combative poems that aim to convey a message of abused people. These two poems also show how politics can be immoral, evil and spiteful. Auden's “refugee blues” laments the plight of Jews expelled from Europe, some were killed and others arrested under Hitler's rule. The poem is about two Jews who are assumed to be a couple. They are refugees in Germany and are not welcome at all to add I feel this couple is in the wrong place at the wrong time. The poem takes the form of a "blues", a slow, sad song that originates from slave songs. Through the poet's diction, symbolism, imagery and repetition, the idea of ​​violated human rights and the plight of the victim is evidently communicated. The poem ends metaphorically with the narrator telling his companion that he saw ten thousand soldiers looking for them to imprison them or, even worse, to execute them. Each verse intensifies their suffering. Primo Levi's poem “Shema” mourns the life of Jews in concentration camps during the Nazi regime. The Jews were humiliated and many were executed. The poem takes the form of a traditional Jewish prayer considered the essence of the religion; the prayer is entitled “Shema”. Each of the three stanzas has a main purpose: in the first stanza Levi declares who he is addressing, in the second stanza he provides indications of judgment and in the last he warns. I think the poet presents the poem in a religious way so that we interpret his opinion from a religious perception. With the help of numerous literal devices such as symbolism, images, contradictions, metaphors and the like...... middle of paper ......the field. Then Levi uses the simile and I think it is the most effective of all, this is because it allows him to compare only on one aspect "Empty eyes and cold womb like a frog in winter" here not only the appearance is taken into consideration but also the inside that is "womb cold", which means it has been rendered sterile. The simile “like a frog in winter” paints a picture of a woman alone in a dark, cold place without any sense of hope. I think he uses animal because the Jews were equal to animals. Primo writes in the simple past tense to illustrate that what we are talking about has already happened. He also uses first-person narration to interact with readers and to make the poem dramatic. This is a unique poem, it is a free verse that allows the writer to express himself. These two poets manage to convey the suffering brought by humanity to harm humanity.
