Abstract
This paper proposes to attempt a very limited survey of select Holocaust writers and their poems written during and after the 1939-45 Second World War to show how through the poignant verses, the predominantly-Jewish litterateurs had tried to commemorate their own sufferings at the Nazi-organised concentration camps for their posteriors so that they could safeguard themselves against the dangers of ultra-nationalism, xenophobia, and racism
