This is my butterfly poem project based on the poem “Man Proposes, God Disposes.” This poem is about a man who once had everything he dreamed of, but now since he is Jewish he is now a prisoner in the Terezin concentration camp. He was once rich, tough, and happy. Although, now he is weak, beaten, and hopeless.
“I.
Who was helpless back in Prague,
And who was rich before,
He’s a poor soul here in Terezin,
His body’s bruised and sore.
II.
Who was toughened up before,
He’ll survive these days.
But who was used to servants,
Will sink into his grave.“

Life Is Beautiful
“Life is beautiful” is a movie on Netflix about a Italian Jewish who falls in love with a Italian woman. They get married and have a child who is Jewish as well, during this time the holocaust is beginning and they are taken. What surprised me most about this movie is that this history of hatred started off so slowly. First it started with only teasing the Jews, then slowly progressed to genocide. What was most interesting was how Guido the Jewish lead role hid his son so he wouldn’t be killed. Although this movie was great i am still left with a couple questions. Where did all the Jewish slaves go once the war was over at the end of the movie? Did Guinco ever find out later in his life what his father had done to protect him? Does Dora know what Guindo did to protect her and their son?
