Hey everybody I wanted to put my response on the web, so here it is...
I thought that The Hangman really showed how you can (and should) stop being a bystander and start being a helper by standing up for the greater good. The line "I did no more than you let me do" is one of the sentences that demonstrates the way Maurice Ogden talks about this. After all, in the Torah it says: not saving a man's life if you can, is a sin.
Also (as a bonus of course) people will help you if you're in trouble and you've previously helped them.
I can relate to this poem because it relates to the Jews and the Holocaust and how nobody helped them when they needed help. And I am a Jew so I can relate to the Holocaust and the poem.
The sensory images help visualize the poem and its meaning with phrases like "smelling of gold and blood and fame" and His eyes of buckshot lead".
