Swing Kids VS School Ties

“Yet, nearly 6 decades after the Holocaust concluded, anti-semitism still exist as the scourge of the world”(Eliot Engel). It’s been causing great trouble in the world ‘till now.Anti-semitism is a hatred of the Jewish people. This happened in Europe, mostly in Germany. Anti-semitism began in Germany, because of the Nazis.Two films were released in the 1990’s that deal with different issues involved anti-semitism. One titled “Swing Kids” which was set in Nazi Germany and tell the story of a group of teenage resisters who rebel by doing swing dance, but were forced to be involved with the Nazis anyways. The other film is titled “School Ties”. This film is set in the United States, but also deals with issues of …show more content…

although , some of them got forced into joining the HJ. But joining the HJ made some of them like being in the HJ so much, they started to listen whatever they were ordered to do just to get whatever they want. And later on swing people got treated like Jews for protecting/defending them. In the film “School Ties” was about a Jewish quarterback that had a scholarship from a catholic school. In doing this, he had to hide the fact that he was a Jew. and he had to miss a Jewish tradition for a game.Later on his background have been discovered, which lead his team to harm him. For what I’ve seen in both films, i thought that the movie “School Ties” was a better film because of the fact that anti-semitism was showed more in the film. Another thing is that in the film “Swing Kids” the only jews shown was only when the Gestapo was taking away a Jewish person’s thing from her house. And in the movie “School Ties” the main character is actually a Jew. Although both film are important because it’s about anti-semitism. For instance, in “School Ties” when everyone in the school started harassing David for being a Jew. and in “Swing Kids” it showed the Gestapo kicking out Jewish people out of their houses. But I would recommend both of these film to others because it shows that not all Jews are bad, and after watching both films you would think of what made the Nazi hate Jews. And thinking about why people are judging them by their

The grandson of a Holocaust survivor tracks down the grand children of Nazi camp officiers. I ranked this movie #8 because it is how the officier’s future grandchildren show remorse and want to do something good because they did not know the true story of their parents. Toward the end, the grandson of the Nazi actually asks the Holocaust survivor’s grandson how he feels about the Holocaust and truly wants to

The Learning of The Holocaust The book Night by, Wiesel represented the holocaust. The book was a great way of expressing facts but it was hard for me to really see it. I think that the movie, The Boy In The Striped Pajamas explained the holocaust much more efficiently, and had a better understanding of emotion and gave the watcher a better visual for better comprehension.

For example when the man tried to steal soup during the raid, he was kilt because he did a wrong. That's why the soup tasted better than ever because he was not just stealing soup, he was taking the only thing the jews had to survive other than hope and their love ones, which were slowly disappearing. This little boy had committed no crime. He was simply a little boy who stuck with his father. This affected me a lot because it made me realize if I were there what would have happened to me.

I only focused on the most relevant and pressing issues that I identified but overall both of these pieces were very well written and very good tools to display the terrible things that occurred in the holocaust. The Holocaust changed the Jewish people's morals and values. This event caused these Jewish people who were put into this mess because of their religion completely turn their back on not only their religion but their god. It also really showed the flaw in the german people's logic when his own son was put into the situation the man was putting a whole race through and it broke

The theme of ‘The inhuman treatment of people’ is important because it was not fair to the Jews to get treated horribly just because they were hated for no reason. For example, Jews were beaten, treated like slaves, killed, and starved. Jews were treated terrible because of the Germans hate for them, for instance, the scene on Chapter 4, Pg.

Many of those Japanese-American citizens believed that the way to be pardoned for their uncommitted crimes, to become a true citizen of the United States, was to enlist into the American military. Another reason is that many Japanese-Americans were very fearful of what the American government had the capability of doing to them. For example, the term "concentration camp" incited fear in many of the Japanese, as during that time, while Adolf Hitler was in power in Germany, concentration camps were where the Jewish people were sent to and where they would most often be

What mattered was the deep messages of this film, to show Americans Germany’s control and bring light to the situations in Europe and all over the country. I liked the diversity within the film, I saw people from Asia, France, Morocco, Germany, America, Africa, and all sorts of places. It was nice to see this movie have real actors from real cultures in

But it did catch my attention at certain parts and really gives you an idea of how the Jewish people were treated during World War II/The Holocaust. To watch this film, you have to understand the religion and understand what they are talking about if you want to have a good experience. I don't understand Jewish religion that much, so, it was harder for me to understand the film and get into it. This film is based on a true story. It was based closely on the book ‘The Trial of God’ which I had already mentioned.

Have you ever walked down the hall with a hat on, maybe when you were younger, and heard someone yell at you, hats off. Well this is heard at Amboy Middle school everyday and towards many many people. The reason for this is the people style or look, lots of people like to wear hats as part of their outfit.

School Dress codes do not allow students to completely express their individuality. Schools want students to be able to think for themselves and create a sense of who they are, but it is not easy when they are forced to abide by rules that take away from from that. It should be a place of expressing ourselves freely in a learning environment without having to worry about what we wear as an interfering issue. The fact that the school system cares more about the student dress code than their education is an issue in itself. Schools should promote dress code individuality because of religious aspects, mental health, and human experience.

Dress codes lock schools up like jail, and they don’t give students any freedom. Because of school dress codes, kids are revolting at this decision. People enforced dress codes so students couldn’t distract one another, as a result dress codes have impeded learning in many schools. Many people favor dress codes, yet they cost extra money, limit the student’s freedom, and they can be uncomfortable, which is why dress codes are unnecessary.

In the article of Dr. Alan Hilfer from 2009, “Disadvantages of a School Uniform Policy” stated that “We need free thinking children of to become thinkers of tomorrow, not droned who will continue making the mistakes of previous generations”(Hilfer, 2009). Feelings on school uniforms seem to differ as much as the reasons for having them, hate it, or love it. Recent studies done in the University of Alabama states that: “Student Uniform use was not significantly correlated with any of the school commitment variables. In addition, students wearing uniforms did not appear to have any significantly different academic performance” (Brunsma & Rockquemore, 1998). The problem whether schools should still be continuously implemented is a highly debatable topic.
