Flim Lesson: Schindler's List

The film " Schindler's List" was about the Holocaust and all the things they had to do to be able to survive. This film begins with the relocation of the Polish Jews from surrounding areas to the Krakow ghetto shortly from the beginning of World War II. Schindler was a member of the Nazi party. The Jews would sleep in factory gates. A Soviet comes and tell them that their liberated by the Red army. The procession of the now-elderly that were working in Schindler Factory."Schindler's List" comprises these "skilled" inmates, and for many of those in Płaszów camp, being included means the difference between life and death. Almost all of the people on Schindler's list arrive safely at the new site, with the exception of the train carrying the Jewish women, which is accidentally redirected to Auschwitz. There, the horrified women are directed to what they believe to be the but weep with joy when water falls from the showers. The day after, the women are shown waiting in line for work. In the meantime, Schindler had rushed immediately to Auschwitz to solve the problem.

The Schindler Jews, having slept outside the factory gates through the night, are awakened by sunlight the next morning. A Soviet dragoon arrives and announces to the Jews that they have been liberated by the Red Army. The Jews walk to a nearby town in search of food. As they walk abreast, the frame changes to another of the Schindler Jews in the present day at the grave of Oskar Schindler in Jerusalem The film ends by showing a procession of now-elderly Jews who worked in Schindler's factory, each of whom reverently sets a stone on his grave. The actors portraying the major characters walk hand-in-hand with the people they portrayed, and also place stones on Schindler's grave as they pass.

They barely ate they would be weak and always had so much work to do the men and the women workers were separated. The children were suppose to be killed but they weren't cause they had to work. The images that will stay with me is when the dead bodies and how they would kill the children and people. They would kill the infants and children so they weren't reproduce. They move with into the ghetto and out of the ghetto into concentration camps.

Flim lesson: Night and Fog

Some of my reaction to Night and Fog are that they shouldn't never treated people that way it was horrible. The film was very depressing . The film that illustrates the Holocaust more clearly is the documentary flim because it showed more of the things that really happen. The Hollywood version was just seeing how it happened and its not actual things from the the time. The flim was very powerful alot of Jews had to suffer because of Hitler.

A lot of the Jews were killed in concentration camps and a lot of were the children were separated from the family's and were send to concentration camps to be killed. Some weren't allowed to work. After the bodies were killed some of were burned . They were shave their hair off and make them take off their shoes and clothes. They were came it to make cloth.

The Schindler List was not the same of the Night and Fog in the Night and Fog those were actual pictures taken at the time and showed all the things that took place at the time.Another point of contention was that Resnais had included photographs of French officers guarding a detention center where Jews were gathered before Deportation. This scene prompted a call demanding that the shot be cut because it "might be offensive in the eyes of the present-day military"
