d)the decades between World War I and World War II

Answer 1

The Answer to this question is A: The decades following the Holocaust.

Answer 2

Answer: A) the decades following the Hollocaust.

Explanation: the poem "Tatto" by Greg Shapiro is an allusion to the way in which people's bodies were labelled during the Hollocaust in the concentration camps. The speaker is talking about his/her ethnic heritage. The reason why answer A is the correct one is because the poem refers to the Hollocaust as a memory but is not taking place at that time. It is taking place some decades after it.
