In the Lady Lazarus, Sylvia Plath demonstrates an allusion between her life and the Holocaust; the mass murder of some European Jews by the German Nazi regime during the Second World War. Jews were a less important race, an alien threat to German racial purity and community, to the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Plath makes a parallel with her emotional suffering to the jews physical suffering and deaths. By doing this she incarnates their hardship to her own. For example, she describes her face as a “Nazi lampshade” and as a “jew linen”. Basically Plath use the allusion of the Holocaust to make the reader sympathise with her struggle or this inner guilt that she carries on her shoulders everyday.
