Conclusion

So, with the assignment you have just completed, we conclude the first week of this course, which was an introduction both to the value of poetry in general, and Holocaust poetry specifically.

In the next two weeks we will deal directly with what we term Holocaust poetry, some of which was written during the events and some after the end of the war.
