Film Lesson: Schindler's List

Schindlers list illustrated the holocaust in a number of ways. There were Nazis, Kapo and Commandandt. They were taking the Jews from their homes and putting them in ghettos. The Jews were made to be slaves. They were treated horribly. They were only given bread and soup to eat. Women, Men and children were separated from their families. If The Jews were either old, too young, sick, or unhealthy, they were killed. The Nazis had different killing methods. Some people were shot. some were killed in gas chambers.Some were put into ovens and burned.Those who survived, were let free after the war. Just like the holocaust.
The most powerful scenes to me were the children and the Auschwitz camp. I dont understand how anyone has the heart to kill thousands of people. especially children. The kids didnt even lose their innocence yet. They were very young. Yet their age didnt make a difference. They were killed anyway. This upsets me because i love children. And to kill a child depresses me. I remember the little girl in the red coat. She was so cute and lonely. Yet she was killed.
The images that will always stay in my head is that of the naked, dead bodies laying on the ground. The thing is that the Nazis didnt even bother to clean it up. They just left them laying there. I saw heads chopped off of the bodies. Its pretty scary.

Night and Fog

Night and Fog was very sad. it depressed me because the jews were treated as if they were animals. They were treated terribly by thos ewho felt they were superior to the Jews. They even treated kids the same way they treated adults. It was the worst. showing the dead bodies on the floor with no heads almost made me sick. the film was very powerful. It made me think about everything. It made me think of the things that they used to go through. When people make racist jokes, this is what i think about. Racism is what the holocaust was all about. It compares with the scenes from schindlers list because some of the scenes from this movie was in schindlers list. The documentary portrays the holocaust most effectively. the documentary was in black and white which made me feel like i was there. there were pictures that told the story.this made me feel like it was more realistic because the pictures were actually taken at the camps. i felt like i was there and i felt their pain.
