Film Lesson: Schindler's List

The film "Schindler's List" showed how the Jews were sent to the ghettos and from there, the concentration camps. Many of the scenes in the film were powerful. Seeing how the Nazis killed the uncooperative or "useless" Jews without any regard for human morality was appalling to me. Seeing the measures the Jews took to hide from the Nazis such as hiding under planks and inside latrines just shows what horrible things were in store for them There were so many scenes of death and destruction that it is hard too describe how bad these actions were.

Film Lesson: Night and Fog

The film "Night and Fog" was a 1955 documentary directed by Alain Resnais about the Nazi concentration camps in World War II. I have seen many photos of the holocaust but I have never seen actual footage of the camps. The footage was extremely powerful as I have never seen how exactly the Nazis actions were carried out, only the results of those actions. When I compare this to "Schindler's List", I see this as a more powerful film. This is because since "Schindler's List" was a movie by a Hollywood director, I mostly saw it as a movie. "Night and Fog" showed real footage of what the Jews went through in the concetration camps.
