Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

The film "Schindler's List" is an illustration showing what happened in the Holocaust. We were able to see how the Jews were treated first in the Ghettos, the in the Labor Camps and Finally in the concentration camps. This film illustrated how the Jews would hide and then later be killed by the Nazi's. It also illustrated how the families were separated and might have never united again. But despite the fact of the horrible treatment on the Jews and others too, there was a man who had workers that could be saved by him because he was a Nazi member. This man was Schindler and if you made it on his list then the chances of you getting killed were very few because he would save you.
There was apart in this film where they try to separate a little girl from her mom but he stops the officer wnd the little girl can go back with his mother. The Nazi's were trying to have a genocide, or eliminating a race but Schindler was a "good Nazi". If you would like to see a film with the illustration of the Holocaust then this is the film but i recommend you to skip some parts because it can be very strong. One image that will always stay in my mind is the little girl in the pink jacket running up the streets of the Ghetto and then later seeing her being burned in Auschwitiz. It was something very powerful to see how the Nazi's had no compassion over nobody.
