Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

I personally thought "Schindler's list" was more powerful than "Night and Fog" but it was also difficult to watch. I was disqusted on how Germans treated the Jews. The "Night and Fog" was documentary and they filmed the place way after the Holocaust. They showed the abandoned place. They showed around the place explaining the way they had to live and how crowded they had to stay together. The scene that moved me the most was the clip when the people who found the dead bodies everywhere had to use a bulldozer to push away all the bodies. The people were all skinny and nothing but bones. The Germans started losing the war at the end so the Germans wouldnt feed the Jews. They couldnt feed the Jews or their own citizens. The Germans also ran out of coal to burn the Jews' bodies but they couldnt fuel the ovens. When the Americans went on the land, they found dead bodies everywhere. It was a horrible image. The Schindler's list didnt show the aftermath of the Holocaust.
