Holocust Stories

Recently I have read the book "Annexed" by Sharon Dogar. It is an amazing book, that I totally recommend to anyone looking for a good read and/or read the diary of Anne Frank and loved it . It is the story of The Van Pels and The Franks going into hiding in the secret Annex during WW2. The only catch is instead of being told in Anne Frank's point of view, it is told from Peter Van Pel's. The reason I am telling you this is as I did for/about Anne Frank, I am going to write a poem for/about Peter Van Pels. In this book there is this ongoing theme of the phrases, "Is anyone there? Is anyone listening, " that I will be using in the poem/paragraph. So here it is, I hope you enjoy.

Berlin, Germany 1943 Audrey Zimmerman, a 16 year old Jew that has to flee out of her house with her two brothers and parents to a complete strangers in order to hide from the Nazis that seek out to capture all the Jews and put them into concentration camps. One night Audrey decides to venture the house she's staying at, there she meets a boy named Frederick, a 19 year old Christian. Over the months the two become close. Frederick promises her to protect her. But can he keep his promise? Will the Nazis find Audrey and her family?

I wrote this poem for English class, and I have to say it is the best thing I have wrote in that class. We had to choose a celebrity who has passed to write about, and since I am a history nerd I chose Anne frank. She is one of my role models and I wanted to try to honor her terribly short life. My friends said it was really good. So, I wanted to put it on here to see what you thought.
