Film Lesson: Schindler's List

The movie Schindler's List illustrates Holocaust as a horrifying, and terrible event. The jews were kicked out of their houses, and were sent to live in the ghettos. The ghettos did not work for the Nazi's, but later on they decided to build concentration camps where all the jews would be killed. After the failure of Ghettos they build Auschwitz. Thats where all the jews were sent, and killed. Jews were seperated based on their health, sex, and physical fitness. Childrens were seperated form their parents. Some childrens managed to stay with their mothers because they would hide in places where the Nazi officers can't find them. Some would hide in the gutter underneath the toilet.Childrens were also killed.The jews that they did not kill were the ones who were able to work, and were on Schindler's List. Schindler was a bussiness man who owned a factory that made weapons for the German army. He needed workers that work for him, so he decided to choose jewish people who can work for him. He protected his workers, because he needed them to work for him. The scene that was most powerful to me was when the Nazi officer saw the women hiding her child from him, and trying to save her by taking her in the train along with her. The officer violently took the girl away from her mother, and seperated the mother and the daughter. It was most powerful scene because it reminded me of my mother, and i also felt the pain of being seperated from my mother. The image that will stay in my mind from the film is when the boy jumps into the gutter from the toilet. He also found many other kids of his age hiding inside the same gutter. It was the most stinking, and disgusting image from the whole movie.

Night And Fog

The reaction of the documentary fil "Night And Fog" is very shocking. The brutal, and horrifying scenes of the movie was the dead bodies laying on the ground waiting for it to be burried under the ground.I found the film to be very powerfull, because it was really devistating to see people dying from starvation, and suffering from pain. There were horrible living conditions in the camps. They were taking all the jews and putting them into camps, and taking their valubles from them. They were either killed as soon as they got to the camps or they were chosen to do the work. Some were send to the hospital to do experiments, and some were send to prison where they cannot sit down or stand up because its very small. They shaved women's hair to make coats out of their hair. In the movie they showed ovens, crematoriums, and the gas chambers where the jews were horribly killed alive.There were 3 million jews killed at the "killing factory"(Auschwitz). In both the movie, and the documentary (Schindler's List, and Night and Fog) they showed the scene where dead bodies of jewish droped into the ground by a bulldozer. The movie that showed Holocaust more effectively is the documenatry, because its shows footages that were recorded during the Holocaust, for example they showed the dead bodies, the jewish people in the bunk beds, and also the ashes of the jews after being burned alive in the ovens. Also in the movie they copied some of the scenes from the documentary.
