Film Lesson " Night and Fog"

I think that the movie Night and Fog was eye wakening. Some of the scenes in the movie were very disgusting. They showed human bodies. The movie was extremely powerful. Some scene did match with those shown in Schindler's list. The think that the hollywood movie illsturted the holocaust better. The movie showed more of a personal account of what on in the holocaust. Also the hollywood movie showed what actually happened with the Jews as a visual which I like more then with words.

Film Lesson: "Schindler List"


Schindler List illustrates the hololcaust by showing the story of Schindler. It showed how most people hated the Jews, however it showed that some actually helped the Jews get out of getting killed. The scene that I remember is the liquitation of the Krakow ghetto. This scene showed how people would eat their jewlry. Also the scene in which the nurse and the doctor posioned the sick so the Nazi would not kill them and they would not die a painful death. The scene that stuck with me was the scene in which there was a man holding a women asking for help to a Nazi and he just shot her in his arms. This scene would always stay with me because it was one of the scene that was the sadest it made me mad.

US Atomic Bombing of Japan in 1945

I do believe that the bomb dropping in Japan is the top news of the century because it shows there so death in the event and it created such a big debate that even until this day people don't agree on whether the droppings of the bombs was a good idea. I don't think that there was a bigger event then the dropping of the bomb.
One thing I would change is the placement of the Cuban missile crisis. I would have placed this news as 14. I think that this is way more important because it could have started another World War. That would go done in history as the start of WW 3. Most of all it involves that many countries making it news of various opinions and importance.

Germany at War - WW2

Propaganda is information used to spread to harm or helps someone. This poster has to do with Germany taking contorl of the European countries. This poster says that German had a lot of power and wanted to rule all of Europe and any country they could get a hand on.
The poster show a graveyard with a cross saying Churchhill which shows the failure of England. Then theres a fist punching some Russian person which indicates that Germany was tring to take contorl over Russia as well. Then a baby in a cradle which is to indicate that the German's reason to wanting to invade Russia was for security reasons. Lastly the Germans say that they also invade Russia for prosperity which was indicated by a living space of Germany.
