#3: "Found Poem" of Vladek Spiegelman

A "Found Poem" is a poem that takes words from the actual text to describe an interpretation of the character.


Vladek's Past

A Survivor
[He] lived life in Poland during the War,
Given army training, taken as a prisoner, and escaped.
[His home] Sosnowiec became a ghetto,
He was sly for survival,
Hunted scraps of food,
and pretended to be German.
He tried to smuggle himself and Anja out of Poland,
but was betrayed.
He stayed outgoing and brave through it all.
