free write= a question we were thinking about

     A question I had was why do the pigs stand for in the book. I do realize they are Polish, yet I do not understand what the significance of the pig was. I felt that the only option was that the Pigs were suggesting they were doing the "dirty work" of the jews. I felt that their is a significance of the polish being pigs as the jews are mice and the nazis are cats. I feel their is a significant reason why the Polish are pigs and I feel it will become clearer as the book goes on.
