Film Lesson: Schindler's List

The film Schinlder's List illustrates the Holocaust by showing the audience the suffering many Jews faced during this time. The remake of Concentration Camps, Death Camps, SS Doctors, Gas Showers, and many more really gave us the audience a visual meaning of how Jews were treated during this miserable time. The most powerful scene for me was the Train to Auschwitz scene. Nazi Police Officers forced hundreds of Jews onto crowded train cars with one window making it very hard for some people to breathe well. What really got to me was the little amount of water given to the Jews. Nazi Police Officers used a hose to give the water. This angered me very much due to the fact that Jews are humans not dogs. Though Schindler's List was a Hollywood movie, I believe that "Night and Fog" was more powerful due to the fact that we saw actual clips from the Holocaust. Schindler's List was very entertaining and a pleasure to watch, however at the end of the day, "Night and Fog" was just more powerful.

Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

The Documentary "Night and Fog"was a very powerful documentary. To my opinion, the documentary was very informing and I enjoyed watching most of the scenes. Though most of the scenes were very disturbing to watch, I believe this documentary touched many people in my class includung myself. This documentary was very similar to the movie Schnidler's List due to many scenes. The infamous "Train to Auschwitz" scene was used in both the documentary and the movie. This scene illustrated how the Jews suffered as they were taken away. I beleive that that the documentary illustrated the Holocuast mroe efficently because the documentary gave the real deal facts and land that the Jews actually walked on years ago.
