History

The widely Republican Senate brought their focus on obtaining African American voters by giving them political power and rights within the South. They felt anger and betrayal from the Southerners who seceded from the Union, and therefore did little to help them during Reconstruction. On top of  that, hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan, forced military occupation into the South more than any other type of economic assistance. At the point of the end of Reconstruction, little was accomplished to not only help rebuild the South, but also give African Americans the rights given to them by the end of the Civil War as well as throughout Reconstruction.

Sonia Weitz has been called “a survivor with a poet’s eye.” How can poetry deepen one’s study of the Holocaust? What can we lear
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Poetry can give us the personal and emotional account of the tragedy in human history that the Holocaust was. Some events like Holocaust have a major impact not only in a historical sense but also on the sentimental and artistic one, leaving a huge impact in the emotional sense.

Both victims and survivors went through a great tragedy which some explored through poetry, as did Sonia Weitz. We can, therefore, <u>see what feelings, senses, and thoughts were going on in the brains of the individuals, opening up a more deep side of the historic event.</u> <u>With this, we can also dive into a more philosophical perception of the Holocaust, questioning the reasons, causes, and actions of it all.</u>

This is also how the poetry, in general, can teach us more about the historical events than simply mare accounts of the socio-cultural changes through time. Through the art of the common civilians, we see what their emotions and thoughts were, how it was to personally live through it all and how the feelings affected the art, and vice-versa.

<u>Historical accounts are usually talking mostly about the important leaders and political figures, but art, such as poetry, can leave us important documentation about how common folks lived through the events and what their impact was. </u>
