| Notes | This poem is based on the diary of Etty Hillesum, a Dutch woman killed in Auschwitz in 1943. The first-person speaker describes Jewish experience in broad terms: 'Waxen faces. registrations. Friskings. Process", and refers specifically to being transported in a wagon from a transit camp. |
