Film Lesson "Night and Fog"

I think the movie "Night and Fog" is really digusting but very powerful in another way because it has scences that shows how innocent lives were destroyed. This movie shows how innocent Jewish people were hunted down and killed. It shows and explain about the Holocaust and how people were taken out from their homes and send to the concentration camps where they were burned alive. It shows how people got diseases from others and were really sick, they were unhealthy and didn't have enough food to survived on, they also didn't have doctors that could take care and treat these people. It was due to their surrounding because of the people who had die and were about the place. Some scences in this movie were very disturbing, for example when sick and dead people were thrown into a large pit by using a bulldozer to heap the bodies up to burn. It was horrible to see that thousands of innocent people had die during this time just because the Nazi wanted to create more living space for the Jews. I was shocked when I saw this movie cause I still can't believe that this really happen before and to me it was really disturbing to see and know that thousands of people had died without being able to fight back or do something to save their life.

I find the movie "Night and Fog" powerful but not as powerful as the "Schindler List" and the reason why I say this is because in the "Schindler list" it shows and explain more in details like how the Jews were in a lot of pressure during this time and how people were trying to hide but still ended caught and die. The "Schindler List" was much longer and it shows different situation in the Jewish lifes. I also think it also gives more details about the Holocaust than "Night and Fog". I think "Night and Fog" wasn't that powerful as "Schindler List" because it shows more about what the German did to the Jewish dead body and how they burn and try to get rid of the dead bodies. This movie deals more about what happen after the war and the cleaning up of the place, while "Schindler List" deals more about what happen during the wars.

I think the Hollywood version illustrates the Holocaust more effectively than the documentary because its shows more about what was taken place during that time and how these people were struggling a lot, trying to save their lifes and their children lifes. Its shows what they did to hide and places that they try to hide in, but they still were caught and shot to death. While the documentry just give some details about what happen during this time period but didn't provide enough information and didn't show much scences about the Holocaust and what happen in the Jews lifes.

Film Lesson "Schindler's List"

The movie "Schindler's List" is one of the most powerful movie of all time. Its a true story of German Businessman name Oskar Schindler. He went and befriend the Nazi authorities so he can gain control of factories in Krakow. The film "Schindler's list" was horrible and disguisting because it shows how the German were trying to get rid of the Jews. Hilter one goal was to create "living space" for the German and the way he planned to do this was by destroying an entire ethnic of people which was the Jews. When the movie started it shows how the Jewish were treated badly and were forced out of their home and send to train stations. They were loaded in trains with very little space and were sended to Auschwitz which is also known as a "dead camp". On their way to the train station, the German were making fun and teasing the Jews. Its was horrible to see that innocent people were killed, knowing that they didn't do any crime, but the Nazi were just trying to get rid of a them. Some of these people had no idea where they were going and what was happening. Approximately six thousands people were killed in a day at the dead camp brutality, children were separated from their parents and new born babies were killed at the spot. The concentration camps were set up where Jews were starved, shot or gassed to death.

There are few scenes from this movie that are very powerful and horrible, which I just keep thinking about anytime I talk about this movie , like when the women was shot several times in her head and also the old man for doing nothing wrong. Another one was when some of the Jews were trying to hide in the piano , drawers, and under the bed, etc, and they still got caught and were shot several times. Even little children who were separated from their parents were trying to hide and get away, like the little boy who jumped into the latrine just to save his life. Another scene was when the German had all the Jews lock in the trains and was using a water hose to spray water in so they can cool down , while they were laughing and making fun of them. It was horrible because these people had no food or anything to eat except for the little water that was getting in the carts.

US Atomic Bombing of Japan in 1945

I agree with the article about U.S Atomic Bombing of Japan was the #1 news story of the century. I think it was the # 1 news story of century because it was a great and horrible event. Hundred of Thousands of innocent people had die, people were burn alive and die, even little children. When the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki it almost destroy the complete city, houses and trees were burn down, and the place had become dark and hazy. People had lost loved ones, they were wondering out in the dark cold night for food and a place to sleep. It was horrible for those people who had survive because they had ended up having a worse death because they got sick from those dead people and the bad environment which give them diseases. I can't think of any bigger news story than this, because this is a horrible story that happened and it had cause great damages. Some people might think that the Atomic bombing was a good idea because it had ended World War II while others might think its not such a good idea because thousands of people had die during this time.

I would make some changes on the list of top 100 news stories because there are some important stories that were mention around #25 and #7 etc . I would leave U.S Atomic bombing on Japan to be the first top story, I would change #7 Horrors of Nazi Holocaust, concentration camps exposed to be #2 because it was another big event that happen, which thousands of people had die brutally. I would then change #25 which is deadly AIDS disease identified to be # 3 because i think this diesase had spread throughout the world and had cause many people to sick and die. I would change #8 to be #4 World war I begin in Europe, then #16 to be # 5, Russian revolution end: Communists take over.

Germany at War- WW II

Propaganda are information, ideas or rumors that deliberately spread widely to help or harm a movement or nation. Propaganda is like when a governement in a country have an idea and wanted to go aganist another governement, then he would use propaganda to influence his people into starting and entering a war. Propaganda can be both a good and bad idea. It can like help to defend a nation and can also cause harm or any other movement.

The poster say Eucopas Sieq dein WohIstand which means in English "Europe's Victory is Your Prosperity". I think this quote is saying that Europe wants to become a great success in whatever they are trying to do.This poster is showing that Germany was eager to gain more power and they wanted to take control of other countries. It was Hilter one and main desire, to gain control of Europe and it would be a great sucess if it would happen because then he would be able to form a greater army to go against other countries. In the poster it shows the cross which says W. Churchill, which actually is Winston Churchill and its a Prime Minister of Britain. I think they are talking about W. Churchill because Hilter had begun a blitz or a massive bombing, of London by German warplanes and his idea is to continue the War with Britain because he is trying to take control of Britain. The metal fist is showing that Germany is ready for war. Its like when someone is punching another person. Which means that German is ready for war and they are all prepared for it.The factory is showing that the German people were building more weapons and other military materials to go on war such as warplanes, machine gun, deadlier bombs and other powerful materials that are used during wars.
