Babi Yar. One striking element is the narrator's identification with the Jews and their millennia-long history of oppression. Allusion is the most significant literary device used in the poem. Babi Yar is Auschwitz, is Cambodia, is every pogrom and is every act of brutal horror in history. Anne Frank appears in the poem, as an allusion to the faceless and invisible presence of the common person. Allusion, however, is not the only literary device used to great perfection within the poem. 5 pgs. Bibliography lists 1 source.
