Film Lesson: Schindler's List

The movie Schindler's list is a classic directed by Steven Spielberg. In my opinion one of his best. This movie gave you the actual feeling of how the Jews were treated. This movie was very sad and depressing to watch after a while. One of the scenes that i really remember was when all the Jews were being moved to the ghetto even if they were rich. I remember a part when all the Jews were hiding and the would have secret hiding places.But the Germans were not dumb they would search each home and they would listen carefully to the ceiling to see if they hear any noises. Once they heard a noise they would shoot the ceiling and killed who ever was up there. Another powerful scene to me was when all the children were separated from there family's. This was very sad because the mothers and fathers would never see there children again because they would be killed in the concentration camp. I have a lot of respect for Schindler because he saved many of the Jews. He was a good man and had a good heart, by helping save the Jews by making them work in his factory's.

Night and Fog

The historical documentary film "night and Fog" was shown to us so we would actually see how the Jew's were treated during the holocaust. The Jewish people were sent off to the concentrations camps for example , Auschwitz. They were sent off in crowded trains many of them died from starvation n disease while traveling. They also died in gas chambers. This movie was very sad because it showed how much they discriminated against the Jews. Everyone seemed so heartless as if the Jewish people were not humans. They were very cruel and tortured them harshly.
