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.
