Schindler's List is a phenomenal example of a cinematic masterpiece. These past days were my first time viewing the movie. I would say I am well informed about the torture and killing that took place during world war two, but this movie opened my eyes up to it the suffering of the Jewish people in a whole new way. The movie was able to not only present the evil of the situation in accurate and chronological order, but was able to also help the viewer to personally connect and take value in almost every person. With this personal connection they took the audience through a roller coaster of emotion. At first they show you how the Germans made the Jewish people just slightly uncomfortable but nothing to inhuman. Then they branded them and made their name and life center around one piece of paper and what they could take in a suitcase. This was the first stage of breaking down the Jewish people. Most of them only went with it out of fear and hope that they would be safe. Next they moved them to a strange location and this took away their sense of home and security. This provided the audience with the feeling of anxiety and pity for them. Sadly they didn’t stop there, the Germans then came through and violently forced …show more content…

This is a light in the dark tunnel and the audience can start to see that he is trying his hardest without upsetting anyone to help these people. He even starts to change the mind of the head guy of the concentration camp and it starts to build hope for our characters. This is soon crushed, but Schindler fights his hardest for these people and eventually just buys the people and you start to realize that Schindler understands that for every person he buys he is saving a life. This is a heart wrenching moment as you see him spend his wealth to do this. Even his weapon factory didn’t produce any proper

This was a really fine written book, showing a great deal of value in remembering the past and the importance of family. And the movie was portrayed extremely accomplished, even though there were alterations that I didn’t appreciate. In my opinion, the book was superior over the movie, describing in depth the suffering and sadness in the camp effectively, which the movie did not, and developing the characters in a suitable way. I would recommend this to anyone who delights in history along with fiction. It contains the reality of the holocaust while including fictional characters and plot lines.

I now have a added perspective of how horrible this time in history was. People did anything so they would not have to be sent away to the concentration camps where there was a good chance that they would be killed. For example, one scene in the movie showed children hiding in the outhouse, so they would not be taken away like the rest of the children. The Jewish people should not have been treated likes this, but it is important that future generations learn about what happened. This will be helpful in stopping this from happening ever again.

After watching the documentary I think you really get a sense of how horrific the Holocaust was. I mean we always learn about it in school, but it is usually through textbooks and primary source documents. We learn about the atrocities; however the American educational system touches upon it lightly. Ultimately, Americans only get a small idea of what the Holocaust was especially to the Jewish people. We learn so much about the Holocaust, but not about who lived by it.

This documentary is one of the toughest videos to ever watch. It shows the more than dreadful images of prisoners, and the horrid conditions that they endured. Images sometimes were more tough to swallow than others, words were more touching than some, but more than anything the pain in the prisoner's eyes is what set the feeling of pure terror in someone's heart. One piece of evidence collected from this documentary is the camps were made specifically for the Jews which later lead to the Jews being completely wiped out. This premeditated action of making the concentration camps was so disturbing that it lead to the holocaust killings over 11 million innocent lives.
