"Victory" Reflection

I understood "Victory" the best because I can understand what Sonia's message is because I was raised thinking, live everyday like it's your last. That itself is the reason why I can understand this poem so well. Every day I think of that quote. This poem is also really interesting especially with its message that, she wanted to stay in her dad's arms and nothing else in the whole world mattered to her, as if everything could just disapear and she would still be happy, as long as she was in her father's arms. That is why I chose "Victory" by Sonia Weitz as the best poem.

The Eternal Jew, David Pinsk, 1937 Analysis

This propaganda poster is based on the Jews and how they can be deceiving. It is entitled "The Eternal Jew". I think that the intended audience for this poster is the children in Germany also known as "the Hitler Youth" at that time, along with the voting public. This poster shows an ugly, snobby, rich Jew trying to bribe the Germans. It is supposed to show the German race how dangerous and rich. In my opinion it also looks like the Jew's are working with the communists. It is supposed to make the German people change their eye for Jews. The poster maker made it look like all Jews look like that, and all of them wanted the communists to win, but in fact some Jews were even Aryans. It also makes the Jews look like they are a snobby, threatening, and untrustable race that is incapable of running the country successfully with the majority of the population happy. It also gives off the illusion that the Jews worked together with the communists to rule out the Nazis. In my opinion this propaganda shows a very negative message as I have described.
