Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

My reaction to "Night and Fog" was that its a very imformitive documentary. i have seen it before in 7th grade and even now im still astonished at the grusome events of the holocaust. compared to the scenes i viewed from schindler's list, they were somewhat similir. the scean were the children hide, and one little boy goes into the holes in the ground that they use for going to the bathroom, in the documentary they showed what they were used for so we knew exactly what the little boy was going through. In the movie, they showed dead bodies and the creamatorium. In the documentary they showed the dead bodies and how they disposed of them. like the creamatorium and they also showed the gas chamber.
I think that they both illustrate the holocaust well, but the documentary only showed facts and footage and horrifying people, the movie put in characters and fear and we followed each of there journies and it there pain made the movie more real to us. so in my opinion, the movie was more of a influence on my mind then the documentary.
