I think she thinks its harder for people who haven't lived it to understand the pain and suffering. Because of the brutality of the Holocaust we can learn that we do not want to repeat similar behavior in the fututre.]]> 2021-01-11 16:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074779377 https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074785657 i think she believes there isn't a way you can explain how bad it was, but she can try with poetry. we can gain information and respect for those that lived through this time. even getting a fraction of the knowledge of how this affected people's lives shows we care and educate everyone so they know too.]]> 2021-01-11 16:18:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074785657 https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074786811 I think that Weitz believes that it is not possible to understand the horrors of the Holocaust. We can gain some more insight by studying the brutality of the Holocaust.]]> 2021-01-11 16:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074786811 https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074792675 i think that it was hard for her to explain what had happened. She is trying to show how when you don't live through something it is hard to understand how horrible it was, and what the people involved in it went through. ]]> 2021-01-11 16:19:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074792675 https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074797954 I think that it is hard for someone like Weitz who has been through the horrors of the Holocaust to be able to relate to others about them, especially having lost her entire family other than her sister, they only have each other to relate to. By studying the brutality of the Holocaust we can try to understand more about what people went through, although we'll never be able to fully understand it. ]]> 2021-01-11 16:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074797954 https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074803974 I think Weitz believes it is not possible to understand the horrors of the war. She describes the pain and the loss of lives and we can hear her anger towards the whole thing. She does not understand how children can be killed and no one from mankind does anything. We can gain an understanding of the war and how terrible it was.]]> 2021-01-11 16:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074803974 https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074816735 I think Weitz uses her poetry to help people try to understand the horrors of the Holocaust but she truly knows what is was like and that if you didn't go through it you can't fully understand it. We can gain and understanding of what people experienced but we will never understand how they felt.]]> 2021-01-11 16:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074816735 https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074817825 I think Weitz believes that there isn't a possible way for everyone to understand the horrors of the Holocaust, but because she lived it she can try to explain through poetry how painful it really was. By studying the brutality of the Holocaust we can gain knowledge on how to prevent this from happening again.]]> 2021-01-11 16:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074817825 https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074820780 I think Weitz believes that there is no possible way to understand the horrors of the Holocaust. She tries to tell her story of living during the war but it is hard to explain it to someone that didn't live through it. We can learn how the war affected millions of people and how brutal it was. ]]> 2021-01-11 16:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074820780 https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074839862 I think Weitz wants to make sure people know what happened and understand that the Holocaust was something that should of never happened. We can not truly understand what it was like for the people in the camps and others who have suffered from it.]]> 2021-01-11 16:26:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074839862 https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074842533 I think that Weitz has trouble putting into words the horrors of the Holocaust. I think Weitz struggles relating to people because of this because her perspective is so real and extremely sensitive for her to express and compare. What we gain from studying the brutality of the Holocaust is a sense of respect for those impacted. Although we may never fully understand it, it is important for us to ask questions and be educated on this crucial life altering period of time. ]]> 2021-01-11 16:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074842533 https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074864114 I think Weitz believes that is it possible to understand the horrors of Holocaust if people read insightful literature. We can gain insight of how the government can effect us and how brutality can come in all forms. ]]> 2021-01-11 16:31:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1074864114 https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1076859789 I think that Weitz it is possible but he still has questions about it such as why it even did happen in the first place. By studying the Holocaust we become more educated on what happened even though we will never fully understand it ]]> 2021-01-12 02:47:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mobrien58/gc4aic3op2ayusj3/wish/1076859789
