Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

Schindler's List showed a great deal on important information about the holocaust. It showed how barbaric and horrible the Nazis were. Especially to the Jews. They did the most cruel things to the jews. the drove them out of their homes. It was from their homes, to the ghetto, to the working camps, to the death camps. which was the last stage when they were losing the war. It showed how they divided the jews acording to gender and age. if your old enough to work, they would take you to work. if your old, a woman or a child, they would kill you off. They woman and childern ahd a same chance of living depending on the camp , but the old was killed regardless. The ones who died died from starvation , being shot, burned or gassed. No mercy was being shown.
Some of the most horrible , cruel things i saw was when the people were hiding in the town after the raid. When they thought they were safe then started to come out, only realizing that the Nazis were waiting for them. The soliders killed them in cold blood. With no mercy. They didnt care if you were young,old,man, child, woman, pretty or ugly. They killed you off regardless. They felt like it was the right thing to do and that it was their job. They thought of it as fun and amusing. The most powerful film out ofnthe two of them was night and fog. it had actual footage and showed the acutal terrors that happened. It made you feell like you were actually there.

Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

When i saw the movie "night and fog" it seemed like any other holocaust documentary. Showing the dark and gritty camps. But when the pictures of the dead bodies started to pile up, it all just opened my eyes EVEN MORE on how much death and destruction came out of the holocaust. These nazis conducted sick, repulsive, experiments on the jews in this camp. and the way to dispose of the bodies was completely inhumane. Mass graves of people, women and young children included, were also shown in the film. There are many scenes in this movie that are similar to a movie called "Schindlers list", which deals with the same topic. I think that "Night and Fog" illustrates the holocaust more accuratley because it shows actual scenes of the holocaust.
