Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

I didn't like it. It was cruel just taking bodies and throwing them like their nothing. It is a powerful film because it shows what really happened during the Holocaust. This had more powerful scenes than in "Schindler's List." The documentary illustrates the Holocaust more effectively. It showed how the Jews were treated and what the Nazi's did to them.

The Jews were treated like animals and it was horrible. The Nazi's used the Jews hair, body fat and other stuff that the Nazi's needed. I really didn't like it that the film showed naked bodies but I guess it shows how life was for the Jews.

The documentary was more powerful because it was filmed years after the Holocaust. It really showed how the Jews were treated. It showed the real Jews suffering the way they did when it happened. It showed real heads and real dead bodies.

Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

"Schindler's List" illustrated the Holocaust by showing how the Jews were treated and the way the Nazi's worked. Spielberg made the scenes very precise and it was a really good movie in showing how cruel the Holocaust was. Auschwitz was the most powerful scene in the movie for me. It really grabbed my attention and made me focus more into how I would feel if I were in that situation. I would do what most of them did and I thought it was better if you died earlier than to suffer the way they did. The image that would stay with me is the scene where the Jews were dumping the bodies of the dead Jews and the Germans were burning the bodies. It was really horrible and I thought that it was immorally wrong to have done that. It was terrible and to think that it really happened in this world. I always thought if the killer would ever feel guilty in killing someone or in this case thousnds of people. Many of them innocent and I hate it that they do this. Why does there have to be wars in this world? Can't there ever be peace? Well....that is what I believe.

US Atomic Bombing Of Japan In 1945

It is the number one news story but I don't agree that it was a good thing. It was the first time a nuclear bomb was ever used and it did make the war stop. I believe that it is the number 1 news story because it was a really big story to use the atomic bomb in a situation like that. I can't think of a big story at this time. I don't know if there is anything better than that but I would change the second one because if it's about the US shouldn't it be a good thing? I don't like that they put the atomic bombing first but I guess it is one of the most big thing that could happen but I know something bigger than that will come along and it will the most biggest news ever.

Germany At War- WWII

Propaganda is information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc. The poster shows Stalin getting punched by a fist. It also shows that there is a cross saying W.Churchill in England. It says that 'Europe's Victory is Your Prosperity.' It illustrates Germany and other nations at war by showing a fist hitting Stalin's face and that England has a cross with it's Chancellors name on it. There is a lot of things going on in the poster. There are factories, a bed, and I think that is a broken building. I think that the factories stand for the death camps or the concentration camp. The bed stands for lonliness or the killing of one kind. The broken building stands for destruction. The fist hitting Stalin's face is that the Germans are having a fight with Russia.
