Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

Schindler's List was a powerful movie that proved not everyone that was part of the Nazi were mean. Schindler didn't want to hurt any of the Jews but did try to help them and not let them be sent to concentration camps. Schindler instead allowed the Jews work for him by making equipments. In the movie "Schindler's List" the Holocaust was illustrated very clearly and like if you were just standing there watching all of it happen so sadly. The movie showed how the Nazis were cruel people that didn't care about the Jews and didn't put themselves in their shoes and see their point of view. Than there was Schindler who had his list and this list saved some of the Jewish people's lives. This movie was written out very well and powerful to watch.

The scene that was powerful to me was the liquidation where the Jews were taking out of their own homes and were being sent out to ghettos. Where they were all squished together and passing disease. The Jewish were being sent to so many places and if they weren't able to work they would be killed. Nazis were pushing them around like it the Jewish had no feelings, they didn't even care about the feelings of the Jews. The Jewish were trying to live no matter how bad they had it. The liquidation didn't just stop of after the ghetto, after the ghetto they went to labor camps and other camps and than the final decision was to send them to concentration camps. This whole movie was powerful but the liquidation wasn't fair, sadly nothing was ever fair to the Jews.

There isn't any specific image from the movie because all images from the movie will stay with me. They have all been so powerful and showed so much and seemed so real. The images were very cruel but it was true, it was how the holocaust really was. There was plenty cruelty and very depressing to how the Jews were being treated. Also it showed how the people hid from the Nazis so they weren't sent to the camps. The Jews hid but they were still found and were still being killed. All of this would stick with me and wouldn't past me like if nothing had ever happened to them. Jewish people went through a lot but they over came it. Also this film was much more powerful then the "Night and Fog" because "Schindler's List" showed more detail. "Night and Fog" only showed pictures they had and people that had to go through the concentration camps. "Schindler's List" was more powerful and let you know how everything went step by step.
