Tilia Cordata

    In this poem the central idea or main point was the authors experience of the holocaust and how she relates and explains it to her children. Throughout the poem, her feelings and descriptions of being born around the time of this event all emerge and are formatted together to create something the reader can almost visualize and create and image in their minds. One unique part that stood out to me was when the author talked about being  scared of taking showers because her mother told her gas used to come out of the shower heads instead of water.
