Both Anne Frank and Vincent van Gogh are considered heroes by many, but they did not
physically save anyone's life. Do you consider them heroes? In the context of the poem,
what is a hero?

I consider them heroes due to what they did for society. Anne showed what life was like during the Holocaust. Vincent showed even with having a mental illness, one can make something beautiful.

I have not seen the poem you’re referring to so I cannot give a quote to answer the question.
