Night and Fog

The Holocaust comes from the Greek phrase "burnt offering". There were many very disturbing things that happened during the Holocaust. They are often times too terrible to even think about. But we must not forget. It is important to remember history so we do not repeat it. Below is a link to the 1955 short film called "Night and Fog". This film is extremely disturbing and you should be warned beforehand. This is something right out of a horror film, except it isn't a horror film. It is a documentary. If you do watch it, please write a reply about the film either to this blog OR hand it in for class tomorrow. This will be an extra 5 points added on to your first test of "Night". 1)what are your thoughts about this film? 2) Does it make you have greater understanding about what it must have been like for a Jew living in the 1940's? 3) If you had the ability to go back in time and warn the Jews what would you tell them? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXWlIgWEPmI
