Response---Warsaw Ghetto Video

The video was about the life of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto. They showed how or they wanted the people to see that the Jews are living as normally as they are still in Germany. They even hired actors as shown in the video to stage dinners and parties to back up their propaganda. They would also tell the Jews to do what they want so that the Germans would not look bad in the cameras. But behind those staged dinners and parties, is ugly and sad truth that the Jews are not living as extravagant as they would show it in the video. The truth behind these They also let survivors watch the video. And they showed how the survivors reacted to the video. They also showed the corpses of those poor Jews who died of starvation. But despite all of this, the Jews are still hopeful that their suffering would end. They still had the faith that they would be free again.

When I was watching the video, I guess I can say that I’m confused. I am confused that a human being can be so cruel to another human being just by being different. I feel bad and a bit angry that one is capable of such cruelty. I don’t understand why they blamed these Jews for the bad things that happened to them. I also feel sad that when these Jews died, they were deprived of a proper burial. And when those corpses from the streets were put into what it seems to be a wooden coffin, those soldiers just threw the corpse in like a trash. But I honor those Jews because despite the cruelty that was inflicted to them, they never lost hope that one day, they would be free. They were always hopeful that their suffering would end soon. That they will not die. It must have been really painful for them to suffer this kind of cruelty. And as for those who survived that were shown in the video. I feel really bad that they get to relive their worst experience in the Warsaw Ghetto. I also honor them for being strong to survive the holocaust. It took a lot of courage to survive that horrible time. I can’t imagine what they’ve been through all those years under the Nazis.
