Auden
Talking about war, we can't forget
to quote one of the most important members of the "Poets of war": Auden.
Like his contemporaneouses, his
existence is strongly caracterized by the SECOND WORLD WAR, and he gives us a
great description of it in his works. In one of these ("There's no place for
us") he expresses the difficult situation of Jews during the Nazis persecution.
In the ballad he underlines that there's no place for them, no place they can go to. He imagines to see Hitler'
s face in the sky and he says: "They must die". There's a sad and bitter
reflection about the Jews conditions (condition he felt at first person).
Everybody avoid them and loose their sense of humanity. They're not capable of
giving a hand. The reality was that If you' ve got
no passport you' re officially dead", these was the only hope. He feels a
certain lack of freedom.
