Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

In my perspective i think this documentary will most likely stay on my mind cause of the brutal scenes that took place in Germany. Images that will most likely stay in my mind will probably be when they where executing the Jews who tried to escape in the ghetto. They would just take any measures possible to make sure that all the Jews were dead. Another scene was when the Nazis were burning thousands of dead bodies, so much bodies that it was snowing ashes.

Schindler's list is better than night and fog in a way because it shows the emotion of the people, but these emotions are quickly shadowed by the footage of the real carnage caused by the holocaust which is shown in night and fog. Some scenes I will admit though are really strong. Like the scene were the little girl in the red dress is being carried to the giant pile of burning bodies.

Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

The documentary shows disturbing images of bodies and the methods of death the Nazis carried out.You see corpses piled high and starvation and dismemberment is not hidden in Auschwitz.The documentary which is the real perspective of the holocaust is better than the Hollywood version in the sense that it actually shows real footage, but night and fog definetly wins it just because of the actual footage that they show which is gruesome to say the least and enough to raise the hairs on your back. This movie actually shocked and surprised me. I have never seen anything so sick and disturbing as this video, its so hard to imagine that anything like this could actually happen.

The Treaty of Versailles

Germany did it!
The treaty of Versailles is the treaty that ended the war in the palace Versailles. This ended the ww1 for the whole continent of Europe. the whole thing affected germany for their damage, they decrease the german millitary up to 100,000 men and cut their fleets in half. They were to lose also 13 percent of their land, along with 48 percent of all iron production was lost long with the land.


I believe that the treaty of Versailles was completely unfair. Although Germany did lose the war they were still unfairly treated and punished. It was because of this that ww2 was started. Germany felt this and they took revenge as soon as they could.
