William Heyen/Holocaust Poems

Abstract: A 10 page research paper/essay that discusses and explicates several Holocaust poems from William Heyen's texts, Erika and Shoah Train. The writer argues that Heyen's poetry not only illuminates the nature of the evil that was the Holocaust, but also relates this experience to today's world and the continuing legacy left by this world-altering example of what human beings are capable of perpetuating on each other. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
