Film Lesson : Night and Fog


While watching the documentary film, “Night and Fog” I was shocked and terrified by the brutal and horrifying scenes of the movie. This documentary showed us how the prisoners of World War two were treated during the time of the Holocaust. I found the film very horrible because it showed the discrimination towards Jews and how they were treated .It was shocking to see how much hate and power people had over Jews that they would kill billions and make them work and starve. It was very powerful, because it was really devastating to see people dying from starvation, and suffering from pain for something that they didn’t cause. There were horrible living conditions in the camps. They would put all the Jews in a room that would release gas and would kill thousands. This film was also very impactful because it showed the skeleton bodies, piles of hair, and crematory ovens were millions were killed. There were a lot of dead bodies, cruelty, and unfairness that showed how much pain the Jews had to live with. This film gave us a better understanding of the Holocaust and all the suffering the Jews went through. It showed us the jorney people went throught from begining to end. The Hollywood movie,”Schindlers List” got its point across and showed us how the discrimination towards Jews was but it wasn’t as deep in detail as the documentary was. There were more effective and brutal scenes.
