"On Wiesel's Night" by Thomas E. Thornton

Some of the lines in the poems stood out to me as I read. The whole poem as it speaks of death and loss, and how society must learn of these hardships through teachings of different ways. The Holocaust was so disastrous that words cannot even describe these horrible events. In line 10 it speaks of a pointer, showing the randomness of the death that came to these people. The pointer of death, as millions died and were scarred for life. This teacher could not teach of this event as it is to hard to place in words but they wanted them to learn and for the book that is given to “leave them scarred for life” (line 4).
