Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

Night and Fog was a great documentary. The footage was almost like Schindlers list but the commentary was more descriptive. A lot of the things shown in the documentary were shown in Schindlers list like the burners and the gas chambers/showers. The document was more in depth of the events of the holocaust in Auschwitz. So I think the documentary was better than the hollywood film. 

Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

Schindler's list illustrated the holocaust good. It was very descriptive on the events that took place during the holocaust. I think the most powerful scene for me was when the nazis were taking away the children. Then the kids started hiding anywhere they could. They hid in burners and toilets and under the floor. Another powerful part was when the nazis started killing everyone and burning the bodies of the jews. Though this was a great film I liked the documentary "Night and Fog" better due to the fact that the footage was first hand.
