1 – 22 Music with a Message

Every Wednesday, while we study Anne Frank, we’ll be listening to a variety of music that relates to this time period. Your job is to tell me how the song relates to the Holocaust, The Diary of Anne Frank, or World War II. The first song we’ll be listening to is called “Kenji” by Fort Minor. Listen to the song, read the lyrics, and figure out how it relates. Then, in your journal, you need to explain how it relates.

1 – 22 Music with a Message

Example:

In my opinion, “Kenji,” by Fort Minor, logically relates to World War II. It’s about a Japanese family that’s forced into an internment camp in the U.S. after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It’s also about prejudice and hatred. For instance, there’s a line that says, “Japs not welcome any more” (Fort Minor, “Kenji”). These words are written on Kenji’s wall when he returns home once the war is over.



HatredEditing

James Blunt – Goodbye My Lover Cry You’re Beautiful
