Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"


I believe this was a very powerful film the most powerful i have ever seen. "Night and Fog" is a film about this guy taking a camera to Auschwitz's a concentration camp known for killing 6,000 jews a day. It was filmed 10 years after WWII ended. Its funny when your watching the documentary Auschwitz looks so peaceful you wouldn't imagine that a genocide had taken place there. The documentary also showed film from 10 years earlier, it showed how skinny the jews were and how many bodys there were it was horrible thing to watch but it was important to watch. I believe that the documentary shows the Holocaust to its fullest , it shows were the jews slept three in each wooden bed. It shows the gas chambers that they sent thousands of jews a day. It also showed you the ovens they burned the jews in after they killed them.
