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.
