Warsaw
Ghetto
The
video was about the life of Jews in the Warsaw ghetto. The video was made by the Nazi’s to show
Germans what was happening to all the Jews.
The Nazi’s staged most of the scenes of the movie because it was meant
to depict the life of the Jews in a good light. They also hired actors to do
this. The Nazi’s also filmed the real life of the Jews, but of course that was
edited out of the video. The lifestyles
of the Jews were nowhere near what was shown in the video. The survivors of the holocaust watched the
movie and showed their reaction. It was
very emotional for them because they had to see the bodies of Jews that
littered the streets. These people all
died from starvation because they were not given enough food to live. It must have been very hard for these people
to come back and relive what they try to forget about.
While
watching this video, I tried to put myself in the shoes of the Jews but I can’t
even begin to comprehend anything that they went through. I do not understand how the Nazi’s thought
Jewish people were the cause of their problems, or why they took it as far as
they did. I also don’t understand how
none of the Nazi’s thought they were doing was wrong. One soldier threw a body in the trash as if
it was nothing.

Exactly! "I also don't understand how none of the Nazi's thought they were doing was wrong." What kind of large group of people feel so obligated by ONE man? How many brainwashed people can follow ONE man? Apparently much too many, huh? Looking back, I truly wish I could have been one of the men that was elected into the Nazi party so that I could work my way up to become one of Hitler's finest, so that when the time came, I could have taken the life of that man before he continued to rein over and take the life of millions. What a dream.
