A Film Unfinished - Kaitlyn Wallace

After watching the movie "An Unfinished Film" all I could think was how lucky I am to have to have the life I have to day. It is unfathomable the things they did to the Jews. How could any person become so numb that the suffering of others that they could just kill and torture people without thinking anything of it. It made me sick to my stomach to see the conditions they were forced to live in and the things that the film makers would make them do. One scene that I cannot get out of mind was when they were burying the bodies. They would just walk down the street and pick up the carcasses of everyone who had died that day and throw them onto a cart. They then took them to a massive grave and would just slide the bodies down a slide into the grave, they had at least ten to twenty people in one grave. It was hard to watch them throw around the bodies like they were nothing that the people who had died were just worthless. Another thing that stood out was the scene where they made them take the baths together and be filmed. It just seemed so cruel to make them do that and be filmed, I cannot even imagine how the camera men had to feel. I wonder if they wanted to try and help the people or if they were just as emotionless as the Germans?
