Question

Hannah Senesh's life was influenced by many factors. Select one aspect of Hannah's life and in at least 100 words explore its influence on her work as a poet.

Answer 1

One factor would be that she was Jewish. Hannah was in high school when she was experiencing antisemitism and it left her shaken since she grew up unaware of what was happening to the Jews. This sort of became like a fuel to her flame with wanting to understand what it meant to be a Jew. She also wanted to end antisemitism for the Jews. She lived her life dedicated to the Zionist Movement. She moved her life to Palestine and, without considering her safety, went back to her country to help her fellow Jews escape Europe. She chose to die rather than submit to the people that imprisoned her. Her diary and poetry all showed her wanting to end antisemitism.

Answer 2

Hannah Senesh is considered to be a heroine of the Holocaust, she was in high school when she experienced antisemitism, and it left her shaken for she was brought up in unaware that such treatment to her kind, the Jews, was happening. That experience became somewhat like a fuel to her flame of wanting to get in touch with what it means to be a Jew and to end the antisemitism that Jewish people were experiencing. And not once did that fuel run out, she lived her life dedicated to the Zionist Movement, she moved her life to Palestine and with nary a thought for her safety, she went back to her country with the aim of helping her fellow Jews in escaping Europe, and even at the very last moment, she chose to die rather than submit to those that wrongfully imprisoned her. Her diary, poetry, and plays all reflected her desire to end antisemitism.
