Film Lesson:"Night and Fog"

Night and Fog was about the holocaust. How the Jewish were blamed for World War I. During World War II, the Jewish being hated was not called racism because mostly no one liked them. The Jew's had to wear stars or arm bands to state and show they were full bred Jews. Jew's were really greedy they even ate their jewelry even though they were about to die. This is in my view but the Jew's did not know what was ahead of them, Death. They all thought they were important workers for the Nazi's labor camps. The labor camps were to carry out Hitler's solution plan to get rid all of the Jew's. The Labor Camps were really a undercover extermination area for gassing chambers, crematorium(Burns lively people), and to take their possessions and clothes for the Nazi War. This was a documentary film that was not as effective to show the holocaust then the Hollywood film Schindler's List. I prefer the Hollywood version and I think that this movie wasn't powerful enough because it did not show the dead bodies like in Schindler's List. I reccomend you to watch Schindler's List before you watch the documentary.

The Idian people wanted to be free but the British didn't let them go. The British were in control of all of India. The first act of rebellion was boycotting meaning India will from now on will spin their own clothing instead of buying from the british. The second main rebellion was fasting to stop the violence and giving the british more power and reason to kill everyone in India and the violence from india will show the barbaric part of them. The fasting stopped the violence through out India. The third act of rebellion was the "Salt March" in the
