Holocaust Poem #3

How is juxtaposition used in this poem to highlight an important theme of Holocaust literature?
The juxtaposition used in this poem is that at the start it was happy and colourful and then at the end it was all dark and fast and death came so quickly.
How is descriptive language used to enhance the reader's reaction to the poem?
Its used because the more description used, the clearer the picture in our minds are so we can picture what's really going on and makes the reader feel more emotion from the poem.

And the child held her hand
A child tiny for almost eight,
Deep blue eyes that dominated his face,
When he explained new events to her,
     that funny doggy,
     that pretty rock,
And the freckles on his cheek,
No one saw a sunrise more perfect,
     to her,
She so vividly smells the fragrance of
     his hair,
     his ears,
     his breath in the morning
She vividly hears that little heartbeat,
     that was hers
     always hers,
     and the laughter,
     that raspy little laugh,
     when he caught her in a conundrum.
All this,
But this is merely the surface,
As she watches her little God sheared,
     and stripped,
For the gas chamber.
