Overview
This study of Yiddish and Polish-Jewish concentration camp and ghetto poetry contends that literature that is written about current events offers perceptions different from literature created after the fact. Aaron says that for the Jews, this poetry was a vehicle of cultural sustenance, a means of affirming traditional values, and an expression of moral defiance.Editorials
