How Did The Holocaust Affect The Vladkek's Relationship

Friends and family who worked with the "underground" safely transported the Jews to safer houses. The hiding places in many people's houses played a huge role during the Holocaust in saving many of the Jew’s lives. The main purpose was to hide Jews so they couldn't get caught.

In his case it was more a self-preservation than creating the identity by conscious abstaining from expressing his opinion directly.

Peter tries to communicate that his father never focused on learning the language and tried to maintain his Polish lifestyle by disregarding the English language. This is apparent in the quote “ His Polish friends/ Always shook hands too violently, / I thought… Feliks Skrzynecki, / That formal address / I never got used to”. Peter was very critical and had a negative attitude about the fact that his father surrounded himself with Polish friends and did not attempt to meet Australians. Due to this, it provoked the barrier to aggravate which had detrimental impacts on the relationship between them due to them not being able to communicate properly. This stanza establishes that the only way he could feel a sense of belonging is to form relationships with other Polish people as he felt they related to each

Peter was very critical and had a negative attitude about the fact that his father surrounded himself with Polish friends and did not attempt to meet Australians.

The reason as to why Peter felt this certain way was because he did not comprehend his father 's means of belonging. Throughout the poem, Skrzynecki emphasizes how the barrier had an effect on their relationship as he was distancing himself from him due to the loss of connection between each other.

During the Holocaust, many of the Jews have noticed that they have changed over time. As much as Jew’s wanted to speak for themselves, or even save others, this wasn’t possible due to their fear of winning them causing silence. In the Elie Wiesel’s memoir, Night, shows how Wiesel’s experience was during this harsh time in his life as a teenager. During this experience, Wiesel discovers how others, also including him, decided to remain silent as a result of their fear, causing some choices to be avoided and not made.

Ruth had been forbidden to spend time with Frances or any other non-Jew by her father. As Myers tells us, there are four factors that determine obedience, emotional distance, closeness and legitimacy of the authority, whether the authority is part of an institution respected by the person and the effects of having an associate that is willing to be disobedient (Myers, 2015). There was an emotional distance between Ruth and her father as he had not shown love to his family. Because of this lack of a loving home, the emotional and physical abuse she endured, and the mistreatment of the African American people whose seeming happiness and warmth she admired, Ruth did not have a strong sense of her father’s authority. Similarly, she did not view the Jewish “institution’ her father was part of as legitimate because she had felt ostracized by them due to their judgment of her family business.
