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.
