Night and Fog

Night and Fog, shows us how the Auschwitz seems, 10 years after the Holocaust, and shows us what happened in the concentration camps, and the inside of the camps as well. This film was also as powerful as Schindler's List, but Night and Fog shows what really happened, the people that were in the Holocaust, people that died of starvation and how they burned them up, and how they kept piles of dead bodies in the middle of the camps. This documentary illustrates the Holocaust more than the film, Schindler's List, because in Night and Fog, it shows what they have done to the Jews in the Auschwitz, they would use the woman's hair to make cloth, and the skin to make artwork, and much worse. It illustrates what really happened in Auschwitz, it is very strong to see, and shows real facts on what the Nazis done.

Schindler's List

The film, Schindler's list, illustrated the Holocaust because it shows what happened in the concentration camps, and what the Nazi's did to the Jews during that time. All of the scenes of the movie was very powerful, how they put the Jews into ghetto, how they separated the children from their mothers, and some of them died and were sent to be burned. How they shot the Jews in the ghetto was a scene that will stay with me forever, the Nazis came to evacuate the Jews, and began to shoot them, and beat them. What happened in Auschwitz was very messed up, the women that were mistakenly taken to Auschwitz, instead of being brought to Schindler's factory, the women had their hair cut off, and were about to be separated from kids. This movie was very powerful and moving, a movie that changes others.

US Atomic Bombing

The atomic bombing of Japan was the number 1 story of the century. Because the bomb ended World War II, leaving many innocent people dead. There were more news stories in 1945, but if I were to change the list, I would make the Holocaust the number 1 news story, because it explains how cruel Germany was to all the Jews, and the hatred behind Hitler. Also because many people died in the Holocaust, also people that had nothing to do with the war.

World War II

The Nazi propaganda poster has a cross with the name W. Churchill on it, his grave, on the white side of the land, there is a factory, a bed, and an iron glove punching Stalin in the Soviet Union. Propaganda is the spreading of ideas and information, like a public effect. The poster represents the attack of the Soviet Union after the switch of the Battle of Britain. At the bottom of the poster, it says "Europas Sieg dein Wohlstand."
