The film Schindler’s list

The film Schindler’s list was a very powerful illustration of the holocaust. When I looked at the movie what drowned my attention the most was the children and how they were killed. There were very adorable kids in the film. Take the little girl with the pink dress for instant that was wandering around. At the end, the little girl was wheeled in dead. It was horrible to see such innocent children get gassed. From stopping the Jewish race from growing they had to kill the children. The picture of the girl being wheeled in would stay with me forever in my head. The children were taken away when the women had a check up. When the children waved goodbye to their mothers, it was an upsetting scene because the children didn't know what is about to happen.

Film Lesson: Night and Fog

Night and Fog was a documentary film about the Holocaust. The Night and Fog illustrates the lives of the Jew's and how they were treated by the Germans. This film showed the different ways Germany tried to kill the Jews as of using a gas chamber, shooting at the Jew's and the use of using the oven to burn the bodies. it was a very descriptive movie. One thing that I saw in the night and fog was it explained and gave more evidence that was in the holocaust. The movie uses real image showing the dead body and real video that was actually shot where the holocaust took place, they even recorded how the place looks now a days meaning how the chambers were empty how the ground grows with grass and more. They focused more on showing you the basic concept on what it was and making you realize how cruel that act of genocide was and how the Nazi's surpassed the border or abuse of human nature. Concluding I think that Shindlers List was a better movie because it explained more effectively the Holocaust. If I had seen only the night and fog I really wouldn’t have known much about the holocaust. The movie Schindlers list actually made me realize how bad the holocaust was.
