"Schindler's List" Film lesson.


"Schindler's list" the film correctly illustrates the Holocaust. Reason being so; is because in the movie it didn't only show what had happened in the camps but also where the workers worked. I would say that the scene when all the little children ran and hid for their lives, when rounding up the Jewish. And this one kid was looking for a spot to hid in but, it was used by other kid's and their was so much room available to hide in but they said theirs no room, and left him to die! After seeing that i wondered are all Jewish people claustrophobic. JK! Because this Type of thing happens like 20 times through out the movie! "Schindler's list" the film left a stronger influence then Night and Fog the documentary in my opinion!

"Night and Fog" film lesson.


Some of my reactions to the documentary "Night and fog", is scared, worried, and shocked! Scared because i can't even begin to imagine some group of trained people(Nazis) taking over your town or even country! Worried because after all of the killing, the Jews that were still alive had to search for their family in many cases they wouldn't find any! Shocked because of the high number of innocent people slaughtered, Even the workers, because they were found usless!!!
This compared to Schindler's list, I'd say that Schindler's list displays the halocaust more accurately because the documentary was real film yes but it only focused on the camps! Schindler's list was better quality and showed most of the Halocaust, camps!!

The Treaty Of Versailles, and the affect on the German.

( Signing in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles ){wikipedia}
Basically the Treaty of Versailles was a pact or an agreement between most of Europe( in this case the Allied Powers ), against Germany! The agreement stated that Germany had to pay the cost of damages, according to the pact( treaty )it was Germany's fault. This treaty took place on 28 June 1919, at the end of World War I. This was the official end of WWI! The Versailles treaty placed a lot of restrictions on Germany and put them in an unstable financial state( economically screwed ). They also could only have 100 000 soldiers, and other military restrictions. It also made them responsible for all damage in WW1 so in turn they had to repay all the damage. So after all of this they were really humiliated. Personally i do not agree with the treaty because i also think that this is what gave Adolph Hitler so much power, And i say so because Germany seek ed help, a type of savior so they got Hitler after he was rejected and denied. But when he became fuhrer he created jobs and rebuild Germany's social, and financial structure: all by ignoring the treaty completely!
