We thought that Yertles turtles that he is standing on as his throne are the Soldiers, Jews, Germans, Gypsies and random Poland people hitler killed. Yertles himself as the "king" is hitler. When Yertle yells at the turtles to get together and listen to his commands that is when hitler was ruling out commands to the Jews and telling them what to do. One of our last thoughts was when hitler fell and lost power and all the jews were set free was when mack burped and made all of the turtles fall so they were free from Yertle to swim around the pond.
