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.
