By Nithya Priya R, Grade IX, HRS, TTL
I WAS BORN IN AUSTRIA
SPENDING MY YOUTH IN POVERTY
I MIGRATED TO MUNICH
AND INCULCATED HATRED TOWARDS SOLIDARITY
I BECAME CORPORAL
AND EARNED MEDALS FOR MY BRAVERY
I MARCHED TOWARDS MY AIM BY THEN
AND ENCOURAGED SLAVERY
I MADE PEOPLE WAIT IN QUE
FOR THEY BELIEVED A LOT IN ME
I BROUGHT UP GERMANY UNDER MY VIEW
ONLY FOR THE SUPPORT I'VE GOT
I DID NOT WANT TO BE A DICTATOR
BUT PEOPLE DECLARED ME SO
I DID NOT WANT TO BE A SPECTATOR
BUT PEOPLE ASKED ME TO DO SO
I THEREFORE CHOSE TO BE A SPECTATOR
NOT FOR A GAME THAT'S SIZZLING
I HATED JEWS AND UNDESIRABLES
SO FOR THE GAME OF KILLING
I KILLED ONE BY ONE IN MY GLOSSARY
FOR I WANTED TO PROMOTE MY RACE
I PLANNED A CONSPIRACY
FOR I DID NOT WANT TO SHOW ANY GRACE
I KILLED,I KILLED,I KILLED
MANY UNDESIRABLES AS I WISHED
I WAS KILLED,KILLED AND KILLED
AS THEY,THE PEOPLE WISHED.

MY DEAR DARLING
By Nithya Priya, Grade IX, HRS, TTL
MY DEAR DARLING,GO AWAY
FAIRER FAR THAN YOUR LAST DAY
IT MAY PUT YOU IN SORROW
THAT COMES TO BID A BITTER TOMORROW
TO THE ROUGH YEAR JUST AWAKE
IN YOUR CRADLE ON THE BRAKE
GO AWAY FAR FROM MEN AND TOWNS
MAY BE TO THE WILD WOODS AND DOWNS
MAKING THE WINTRY WORLD APPEAR
LIKE ONE OF MY SMILEST DEAR
GO TO THE SILENT WILDERNESS
FOR YOU NEED TO REPRESS
I MAY COME TOMORROW
AND SIT BY FIRESIDE WITH SORROW
TO SEE YOUR DEAD BODY
AND YOU'LL BECOME A RECIPIENT FOR EVERYBODY
I'LL REMEMBER YOU:
WHEN YOU HAD THOSE WALKS ACROSSTHE LEAVES
WHERE THE WEAVER WEAVES
I WANTED YOU TO BE :
A DAISY STAR THAT NEVER S
AND DON'T WANT TO BE A SANDHILL ON THE SEA
SO WEAK AND FRAGILE
SO MY DEAR DARLING GO AWAY
FAIRER FAR THAN YOUR LAST DAY.
MY DEAR DARLING,GO AWAY
FAIRER FAR THAN YOUR LAST DAY
IT MAY PUT YOU IN SORROW
THAT COMES TO BID A BITTER TOMORROW
TO THE ROUGH YEAR JUST AWAKE

MAY BE TO THE WILD WOODS AND DOWNS
MAKING THE WINTRY WORLD APPEAR

SO MY DEAR DARLING GO AWAY
FAIRER FAR THAN YOUR LAST DAY.
HITLER'S PROMISES
By Nithya Priya, Grade IX, HRS, TTL
HE MADE MANY PROMISES
TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE HIM
INDEED PEOPLE TOO TRUSTED HIM
THOUGH HIS VIEWS WERE GRIM
HE PROMISED TO BUILD A STRONG NATION
AND UNDO INJUSTICE OF VERSAILLES TREATY
HE MOVED PEOPLE THROUGH HIS PASION
AND MADE THEM SUPPORT HIM
HE ASSURED TO RESTORE GERMAN'S DIGNITY
AND EMPLOY THE YOUTHS
TO THROW AWAY ALL FOREIGN INFLUENCE
AND TO MAINTAIN SERENITY
HE MADE MANY PROMISES
TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE HIM
INDEED PEOPLE TOO TRUSTED HIM
THOUGH HIS VIEWS WERE GRIM
HE PROMISED TO BUILD A STRONG NATION
AND UNDO INJUSTICE OF VERSAILLES TREATY
HE MOVED PEOPLE THROUGH HIS PASION
AND MADE THEM SUPPORT HIM
HE ASSURED TO RESTORE GERMAN'S DIGNITY
AND EMPLOY THE YOUTHS
TO THROW AWAY ALL FOREIGN INFLUENCE
AND TO MAINTAIN SERENITY
YEARS OF DEPRESSION (Poem)
By Nithya Priya, Grade IX, HRS, TTL
THE WALL STREET EXCHANGE CRASHED IN 1929
WHEN PEOPLE STARTED WAITING FOR LOANS IN LINES
PEOPLE SOLD THEIR SHARES WITH FEAR
FOR THE NATIONAL INCOME FELL BY HALF FOR SURE
PEOPLE STARTED PEISHING
AS GERMANY FACED ECONOMIC CRISIS
POVERTY WAS FLOURISHING
SO PEOPLE SOLD THEMSELVES AT LOW PRICES
THE UNEMPLOYED YOUTHS WASTED THEIR TIME
BY WALKING ON STREETS WITHOUT ANY AIM
SOME PLAYED CARDS AND SAT SIMPLY ON STREET CORNERS
EXPECTING SOME MONEY FROM THE DONORS.

Hitler - Reflections by a Student
By Sharon L. George, Grade 9, HRS, TTL.
INTRODUCTION
Hitler’s reign in German unfolds a story of violence and tyranny. The Nazi ideology that Hitler followed is based on some hypothetical theory which he believed to be true. Nazism is not about some isolated acts but was a system, structure of ideas about the world and politics. Nazi Germany changed the lifestyles of the people. Even young children were affected by it. Let us see what some people have to say about their lives affected by Hitler’s activities.
HELMUTH’S SONG
(A BOY NAMED HELMUTH WRITES ABOUT THE INCIDENTS THAT SHOOK HIM AND TERRIFIED HIM.)
In my bed as I lay one night,
I sensed that all wasn’t right.
As I heard my father say,
That he in death may lay.
The Allies were the cause of his fear
Due to which from my eyes fell many a tear.
Next day to the woods he took me,
Where we sang old songs in glee.
Then I saw him being burnt in the fireplace,
For having been among the cruelest of the human race.
I was shocked by what I overheard that night,
And later what came to my very own sight.
I refused to eat at home for nine long years,
Whether my mother would poison me
was among my main fears
.
A Nazi was my father I know to this date,
Due to which he met his leader Hitler’s fate.
Hitler persecuted the crippled and the Jews,
Whom he tortured and killed with no proper excuse.
NAZI’S BLOODFILLED VIEW
(A HISTORIAN WRITES WHAT SHOCKED HIM ABOUT HITLER’S RULE AND HOW FOOLISH IT SEEMS TO BE.)
I know not how man could be so cruel,
Declaring that a specific race alone is worthy of survival.
A man born earth,
Is meant to live and die at God’s destined time.
Then how can some man-made theory prove it wrong?
How can some insane politician kill people to fulfill is imperial ambition?
Hitler was such a man who dreamt,
Of creating a racial state,
Which consisted of pure Nordic Germans,
Considered worthy of existence on this planet.
For which he mercilessly killed innocent people,
And tagged them ‘undesirable’.
Germany was like a box of various coloured balls,
And its inhabitants were the balls.
Hitler removed the balls he didn’t like,
Telling some rubbish, unconvincing excuse.
He caused a fracture to the chain of brotherhood,
And holes to the umbrella of humanity,
Which were too big for anyone to repair,
Too scary for anyone to forget.
CONCLUSION
We have seen what people had to say about Hitler’s rise affecting them. It is not the story of one or two people but of many who were victims of his bitterness. The Nazis denied various minorities the right to live. Hitler’s rule paid utmost importance to racial differences. He wished to form and run a state as per his will. Though he was not completely successful in this endeauvour,he partly fulfilled it. His setback was that he never attempted to understand what the people wanted.

THE FATE OF THE JEWS
By J.LINITA LYLE, Grade 9, HRS, TTL
In the powerful empire of Germany
The people lived in harmony
Their life seemed to be peaceful
To help others they were always graceful.
Then came the First World War
Germany fought hoping to gain victory
But success seemed to be far
And this led to a chain of events in history.
Germany lost its oversea colonies
To the people was done lot of felonies
It lost many of its valuable minerals
And the Germans were considered criminals.
May youths lost their job
And some started to sob
The unemployed ran helter-skelter
Because they couldn’t find shelter.
Then came Hitler with a great passion
He promised relief for the people’s tension
He wanted to weed out the foreign conspiracies
And replace them with fresh new agencies.
His first target was the Jews
He valued them to as small as dew
He concentrated them in camps
Even though they were innocent like lamps.
Jews were subjected to the final solution
But there was no one to organize a revolution
Hitler was responsible to many people’s funeral
He was an unforgivable criminal.

A Lost Treasure – Happiness
By C. R. Roshin, Grade 9, HRS, TTL.
During the Nazi regime, when Hitler ruled Germany, the Jews were considered unfit to live. They were sent to death camps where they were tortured to death. Here I have recorded the feelings of various stages of a human being of the Jewish Community from my imagination and what I learned form Grade 9 History.
A Lost Treasure – Happiness
A Child,
Where are those happy days?
When I and Gorbachev* used to play together,
Not until he laughed at me,
Pointing at my nose
Even my favourite teacher did so,
Is this because I am Jew?????
And then a Teenager,
Life was easy wasn’t it?
What made it harder?
The Nazis, men in uniforms to commit crimes,
They told they’d send me to camps,
Not an adventure camp,
But a concentration camp!!!!!
And then a mother,
Where should I search for him?
My son,
Is he alive or is he dead???
Didn’t they have any mercy to spare a baby child?
Its dark, it’s rusty here,
Here in the dungeon I’m hiding in!!!!!
And then an Old man,
When I went to the church,
God told me that he would take me soon with him,
But that death should be a peaceful one. Isn’t it??
Those happy days,
When I walked down the road
Waving at everyone I saw!!!
Not until I pushed into this place,
And they call it death camps!!!!

DARK LIFE OF THE FRENCH COMMONS
(Before the French Revolution)
By REBECCA SALOMY. S,Grade 9, HRS, TTL
WE WERE DISRESPECTED,
WE WERE DISCRIMINATED,
WE WERE DISCOURAGED,
WE WERE LESS PRIVILEGED.
WE WERE THE ONLY TAX PAYERS,
WE WERE THE ONLY OPPRESSED,
WE WERE THE ONLY BURDEN CAREERS,
WE WERE THE ONLY SUFFERERS OF SUBSISTENCE CRISIS.
WE HAD NO RIGHT TO VOTE,
WE HAD NO BREAD TO EAT,
WE HAD NO LUXURIES OF LIFE,
WE RESORTED TO THE SWORD.
WE WERE THE VOICELESS PEOPLE,
WE WERE THE PEOPLE WITHOUT FREEDOM,
BUT WE ACHIEVED OUR GOAL
BY ABOLISHING FEUDAL SYSTEM.
