This film takes place during the time of WW2. It shows how some families didn’t even know what their husbands were doing in the war. It also shows what goes on in their homes and how the soldiers treated the Jews. Also near the end it depicts the inside of the camp. It shows that the Jews really didn’t know what was going to happen to them when they went to go get gassed.…
11. Not only the messages in the film slanted towards Nazi beliefs and ideals, but also the mise-en-scene, editing and music which all combine to create a hypnotic and visually rich emotional experience, which would undoubtedly have influence people.…
But, that doesn't mean that we should continue making films about the same subject; the Holocaust. Some films can lighten the mood of the Holocaust by adding light situational under tones such as romance. By adding something along the lines of this to the existing horrific mass murder murdering scenes the Audience will be touched by the couple kissing in the middle of all of the chaos, while learning more about the Holocaust. Maybe if the Holocaust films were told by the perspective of the imprisoned Jew then the films would be worth the making. But that will never happen since the point of view is too horrific for the innocent public…
The Jews who once helped and cared for each other, turned against one another, and the Germans only gained more and more from it. The Nazis were fueled with power and terror. This was shown a lot in the video Night and Fog. Jews have the face of fragility; Nazis, control. In the video, the Jews look so weak, to the point looks like is a thin layer of skin covering their bones. Their facial expressions look emotionless, yet it looks like they're crying out for help all at the same time. The Nazis on the other hand look empowered and show off a face that contains no mercy. Jews and Gypsies and the disabled were all killed by one group, yet they showed no concern for anybody but themselves. In another part of Night and Fog, the video shows what the Nazis do with the remains of the victims. The Nazis, instead of disposing of the bodies with care, used the corpses for their own benefit. Hair was used to make rope and mattresses, while the bodies were used for soup that would be fed to others. There was no thought of love or caution, only complete destruction. The Nazis only gained more when they did this, igniting the flame of their control. They were built up, and it seemed as there was no hope for the good in the world, for evil has taken…
The recent footage of poison gas blowing off, wire fence standing pitiless and women weeping over the parting with their children have been appeared in the film. The description sounds like a story, but in fact this footage comes from the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1940. In Auschwitz concentration camp, Jews suffered the oppression of the Nazi; however, no one took the responsibilities years later even after the war came to an end. In the film, Night and Fog, the indifferent attitude and irresponsible language of various people who worked at the Auschwitz concentration camp was incredibly shocking. The lower ranking soldiers used “following orders” as a way to divert personal responsibility and to justify their sins. They claimed that…
The Holocaust, which also known as Shoah, was a genocide in which approximately 11 million people died, including 6 million Jews that were brutally abused and killed by the German military, under the command of Adolf Hitler. This is a shameful and scandalous episode of humanity’s history, is “Not of one crime but thousands of crimes done every day, not of one cruelty but millions of cruelties”, as an anonymous reviewer on Amazon stated.…
Alain Resnais's Nuit et Bruillard (Night and Fog) combine horrific and peaceful images, poetic narration, and mournful music that viewers develop an sympathetic attitude. Overall, this film is very traumatizing. There are some images in this film that will be burned into my mind for as long as I live. I have seen many holocaust films, but no one was as near as dramatic and realistic as Night and Fog. This is what I believe makes a good piece of propaganda. Our minds are murky and dull. We tend to only remember the important situations in our lives. Yet we shut out the importance of our own history and pretend it never happened. It is very sad to know that human beings were treated and slaughtered just because of an act of superiority.…
The Holocaust has been put down as one of the most awful and horrifying events in world history. It is impossible for someone to understand and see what the victims of the Holocaust had to go through. Millions of people died because someone couldn't see past the outer shell of a person and judged them because of who they were. That person was Adolf Hitler. He brain washed tons of people into agreeing in his opinion. He wanted the “perfect” race and would kill anyone in the way of his wish, like Jews, Gypsies, Poles, and people with physical or mental disabilities. He put innocent people through the absolute worst conditions and had no mercy.…
The Holocaust refers to the systematic murder of more than six million Jews coordinated by the Nazi party. This was my second visit to the Holocaust museum, and I truly appreciated it much more than my first visit. Instead of reading every single word written upon the wall at the museum, it was the visual parts of the museum that really moved me and made me ask more questions about the Holocaust. When I walked through the box car I got the chills knowing that during the Holocaust it would be filled with more than 100 people and there was no bathroom for people to use. When I saw hundreds of dirty shoes piled up it really started to hit me how horrific and tragic the Holocaust truly was. These visual parts of the museum are what really got me…
To most people the Holocaust is one of the darkest periods of time in history. The Holocaust began in 1933 when Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany. It ended in 1945 when Allied forces defeated the Nazis. During this time a genocide occurred that slaughtered 6 million people of the Jewish faith. Throughout this era of darkness many people risked their lives to do what is best. Although, with all of the bad things people do, it may be easier to think that there is evil in everyone’s heart. I strongly believe that people are good at heart, despite the disturbing events of the Holocaust.…
These are my feeling on the Holocaust. I have mixed feelings about the Holocaust. My first feeling about the Holocaust, is it is an interesting topic. On the other hand is a very sad topic. I can support it being interesting because how did Hitler Get all those people to listen to him. It is very sad because a lot of innocent people died. I felt sad talking about the Holocaust. Those were my thoughts feelings on the…
Running, Bob screamed, “Billy run! He’s behind us! Don’t stop!” As they’re running they saw the bridge next to the beach in Los Angeles. Billy started running faster and faster then he finally caught up with Bob. They both looked back and saw the man in the dark. They could barely see the beach in the fog. Still running, Bob screamed, “I can see the beach house Billy.” The house was approaching them in the fog. The man in the dark came out of nowhere with his super sharp axe dripping with dark, thick red blood. The man in the dark swung at the two and tried to kill them. Bob and Billy dodged it and ran as fast as they could. Soon they would reach the beach house, but the guy was fast like an olympian. He ran super fast when fear moved his…
The Holocaust was an awful thing. I don’t think it was right at all. It definitely should not had happen at all. It was an unlawful act by humans on other humans. Ellie and all the other survivors are very brave and courageous people for sharing the horrific stories with the rest of the world. I’m sure that with out all their stories we wouldn’t know how bad the Holocaust was.…
Zimbabwe is a country slightly larger than Montana and is located in the southern end of Africa between South Africa and Zambia. According to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), it has a tropical climate with a population density that consists of 12,619,600 people (Central Intelligence Agency, 2012). Also, the birth rate in Zimbabwe is 32.19 for every 1,000 people in the population, and the death rate is 12.38 for every 1,000 people in the population.

Their government is a parliamentary democracy in which the prime minister has the greatest representation in the government” (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2012). We are all familiar with the constant threat of infectious diseases in Africa, but there are other hazards that citizens of this area face that are equally worrisome. One of these hazards is called pesticide poisoning, and it is a major concern for the citizens of Zimbabwe.…
