Refugee Blues: Syrian Civil War
The poem “Refugee Blues” represents the refugees of the Holocaust. This event is similar to the current day event of the Syrian civil war. This event also involves refugees fleeing due to the toll the wars are paying on their life's. Both of these events would be traumatizing for whoever witnessed and survived them. It would be hard and disturbing to have to reflect on an event so tragic your whole life. The Holocaust last from 19331945. The Syrian war began on March 13,2011 and is still being fought today as we speak.
The amount of horrific connections between the Holocaust and the Syrian civil war are countless. One similar key factor with these events is the amount of deaths. In “Refugee Blues” it states “It was Hitler over Europe, saying …show more content…

This made it harder for countries to communicate with each other. Now, as a government the media could easily pass needed information on to another country asking for the assistance that's needed. The other side will argue that an event very similar to the Holocaust could happen at any given time. All that's needed is a power hungry dictator with leadership to target a weak group. Now in society, we have learned to be less prejudice to races. Countries are learning to be more open armed to other religions and races, therefore somewhat cancelling out the hate that a leader would have.
The Holocaust has impacted society in multiple ways. It changed the way some people look at Jews. It also give us citizens the fear of electing a leader in with the same intentions that Hitler had. The physical damage that the Nazis left behind can't amount anywhere near the emotional and historical damage that was left. The Syrian Civil War is still impacting Syria, and could very well impact our country. The way things are looking the war will continue for a few more years. If anything were to go wrong, the United States could get involved which would lead to much damage being done in our country. I do not see the Holocaust happening ever again in
