Film Lesson: Night and Fog


Night and Fog was a documentary about the Holocaust made by the French. In this documentary they showed many scenes that were actually real and that really happened. For instanced they showed the skeletons of the dead bodies. However the bodies of the Jews that were working in concentration camps were very skinny and you could actually see their bones. It was very shocking and sad to watch such strong scenes of how brutally the Jews were treated by the Nazis. In this documentary they also showed the gas chambers where the Nazis would gas lots of Jews to death. The Jews being gassed would believe they were taking a shower but once there was gas instead of water coming out of the sprinkler they knew the were about to die. There was no escape because they were locked inside. The documentary showed one of the major concentration camps which was Auschwitz and it showed the train tracks and everything. Today there only lies green grass and souls of innocence people in Auschwitz however back during the Holocaust Auschwitz was a mass murdering place. In my opinion you can not compare the movie Schindler's List to the documentary becuase now Hollywood movie no matter how real they act it out or how vivid they make it seem nothing would compare to the actual skeletons, blood, and dead bodies of what really happened.
