THE LITTLE POLISH BOY STANDING WITH HIS ARMS UP |

I
would like to be an artist
Standing with your Little
hat I would make a monument of you and the world who said nothing
I would like to be a
composer
Standing with your Little
hat I would write a concerto of you and the world who said nothing |
I
am not an artist
Ten Million Miles High is
the Painting
Standing with your Little
hat And the World who said nothing
I'll make this painting so
bright
Ten billion miles high
will be the monument Standing
with your Little hat |
Standing
in the ghetto
And the monument will
tremble so the blind world
The world
I am not a composer
The world's I |

These 3 things serve another purpose: to punish the Holocaust bystanders. Explain how.
(hint: pay attention to each time the author writes of ‘the world who said nothing’).
Imagine that you were a child who survived the Holocaust. Explain whether or not you would be a different person than you are now.
