Night and Fog was a very interesting type of movie.
It explains everything that happened during the Holocaust.
I had a lot of reactions according to the movie. For me it was
a very disturbing movie too. Seeing millions of Jewish people
die was also very disturbing. Yes I found this movie very
powerful because people were being tortured in a very brutal
way. This movie has many scenes that compared to the movie
Schindler's List. Both movies show the Concentration camp.
They also showed Auschwitz where people were taken to die.
The Hollywood version illustrates the Holocaust more effectively.
That's because it shows every part. It shows people suffering and
dying. It feels as if it really is happening right now. It showed
everything actually happening in details. It also described every detail.

Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

The Holocaust began in in the year of 1933 to 1949. It was
a really sad time. Basically, the movie illustrates how the Holocaust
started and how Jews were treated. While watching the movie there
were many powerful scenes for me. I thought it was very disturbing
when old people that were Jewish were killed because they were too
weak to work for the Nazis. Also, it was very sad when families were
separated from each other. In the liquidation of the Krakow ghetto,
people were forced to go to the concentration camp. There, families
of the Jewish were separated. Woman were taken to Auschwitz.
There they had to cut off their hair. Their hair later was used to
make blankets. There are images that will stay with me from the film.
The image of men's heads cut off was very disturbing. When families
were being separated was also very disturbing. Many Jews had died
during the Holocaust.

US Atomic Bombing Of Japan in 1945


World War II began in 1941. During this time Japan and
the United States faced many problems with each other. Japan
attacked Pearl Harbor. So the US decided to drop an atomic bomb
in Japan. The two main cities that were hit were Nagasaki and
Hiroshima. Many Japanese people had died at that time.

I think that the atomic bomb was the # 1 news in the century.
I think that because many people started to have new opinions
about everything. People were talking about it all over the world.
It was a very sad time. Most people think that it was a really terrible
thing to do. Some people think that it stopped the war and also saved
many peoples lives. I think that nowadays, the bigger news story or
event is the twin towers. The both towers fell. Airplane's had crashed
into each of the towers. I also think that this event should be added
list to the list. The reason for this is that it was a very large event many
people had died at that time.

Germany At War - WW II



WW II was a very interesting war. It had many
features that started and ended the war. During this time of war
there was a Nazi propaganda poster. This poster represents many
important things. But before I get to that I would like to explain
what a propaganda really is.
Propaganda is when it's the public
opinion on a certain thing. Or for example it can be a rumor that
can spread about someone or something
.
So, this propaganda is about
Germany from the public opinion. As I told you before that this
Nazi propaganda poster reveals many thing that happened during
WW II. First of all this poster tells how Germany had defeated Great
Britain, or in another words destroyed Great Britain. This feature is
included in the poster by showing the graveyard. Well, there is also
a fist which included in the poster. Of course you wonder why a fist
can be included! Well, this fist shows that Germany is turning it's
attention to the east. It also explains that it's a threat to Stalin and the
soviet union. This poster is mainly for the invasion of Russia.The baby
in a cradle represents security and also prosperity. This poster is
reflecting to the Nazi's.
