Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

Schindler’s List is a film showing us the events that occurred during the Holocaust. Schindler helped many of the people that were in the working camp that he controlled. The film had some real footage and images but not as much as “Night and Fog”. The most powerful scene was watching the women mistakenly being in Auschwitz; cutting their hair, undressing themselves, everything they had to do before entering the gas chamber. It was their expression that was scarring to watch. I have to say that “Night and Fog” was a more powerful film to me as a viewer because it had graphic images, therefore it gave me more of a realistic view of the Holocaust.

Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

The film “Night and Fog” is a documentary that shows us about the catastrophically moment in history. The impact the documentary had on me was very powerful, it showed me many before and after pictures. My reaction towards the movie was sadness because of the way the Jews, the non-Aryan race was treated. The images shown were extremely disturbing in both films but I think that a this film gave us a better understanding of the Holocaust. For example the way they used the remains of people to make things like wigs, soap , clothing, paper for the military at war.
