Explain the poem "infant sorrow" in a short paragraph (5 lines)

English

On the surface, this poem tells the story of a child's birth (oddly enough, in the voice of the newborn child). But there's far more than that going on. For one, newborns can't speak or write poems, suggesting that the poem isn't coming from the baby but from the soul or spirit of the baby, which has recently departed from God's presence to enter the "dangerous world." That's why this is really a poem about sin and about the worldly suffering that comes with sin. The baby is "crying" and "struggling" because mankind's sin has doomed him or her to a life of suffering on earth. His or her only course of action is therefore "sulk upon my mothers breast"—which is a symbol for turning to God for salvation.

When Moishe the Beadle returned to Sighet and tried to warn the Jews, why didn’t they want to listen to him?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Most people didn't want to believe that man was capable of such inhumanity to man.

Explanation:

At the start of the Holocaust, and several years in, the Jews lost possessions and their rights little by little.  They were not taken all at once.  So it was hard to believe that such inhumane behavior could be done to anyone.  Plus, they had no idea was to become of them when they were taken from their homes.
