Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

Schindler's List illustrated the holocaust by showing what the holocaust was like the hollywood way. It showed the jews being liquidated from the ghetto and board a train to go to the concentration camps to do slave labor. It also showed the mass killing of jews by being being killed in the gas chamber and the bodies were burned so they don't have to burry them. The scene that was powerful was the scene with Auschwitz and showed what the conditions were like there. The images that would stay with me are the ones showing the Jews being burned after the gas chamber. Another image would be when the children were hiding from the nazis. I think the documentary was more powerful since it showed real footage from the concentration camp.

Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

I thought how something like that was possible to try and eliminate the whole Jewish population. I was terrified that humans would do something like that to other humans because all humans are created equal. I found the film to be powerful and a strong piece of evidence that the holocaust is a true event and not a conspiracy. The scenes from Schindler's List was similar to the ones in the documentary because they both showed the Jews boarding the train and went to concentration camps. They both showed the Nazi and the SS killing Jews randomly even though they committed no crime. I think that some scenes in Schindler's List was based on the documentary. I think the documentary illustrates the holocaust better because it shows real footage from the concentration camps and shows how they were like. Both the film and the documentary were great even though the documentary was much better at illustrating the holocaust.
