Fateless Movie
While watching the movie Fateless, I had a spectrum of different feelings throughout the film. The movie had a very strong affect on me, and it was hard to concentrate on anything after seeing the types of circumstances these people had to live in, the way they were treated, and what they had to go through just because of their religion and heritage. Something that made the movie even more sad was the fact that Gyurka was so young when he was taken to the concentration camps. One of the scenes that I thought was really emotional was when Gyurka was walking through the streets with all of the other Jews, and the policeman motions for him to try and get out of there and escape like some of the other people, but he doesn't do it. It was hard to think about the fact that he could have ended up not going to a concentration camp, although it might have been inevitable. Another one of the scenes I vividly remember from the movie was when Gyurka had been living in the camp for a while, and he hadn’t eaten for a …show more content…
When Gyurka is being taken to the hospital after his knee was infected, they show shots of corpses, some lying one on top of the other, and being thrown into wagons like rag dolls. Others were laid out on the ground side by side, waiting to be taken to the crematorium. They were all stripped of their clothes, and you could clearly see they were so malnourished that almost all of the bones in their bodies were visible. This movie taught me how they split up groups of people throughout the concentration, and I also learned that there really were some people that tried to deny the Holocaust right after it happened.
This movie was a really good insight into what really happened during the Holocaust, and everything that families and children had to endure. Whether you died in the concentration camp, were related to one of the victims, or you made it out alive, nothing was ever the

    In the movie, I really learned about war and warfare. You really can’t understand just how heart wrenching and scary it can be while ducking bullets and watching your comrades die, unless you are there. Imagine this: you are sending off screaming bullets while dodging them. All of a sudden, you hear a thump as one of your fellow soldiers fall to the ground beside you, you’ve heard the words “retreat” many times…

    One of the things that Vladek had was that he never wanted to throw food away because during the Holocaust Vladek and his wife’s family were very limited on food hence the reason he was very resourceful with it. When Art was small, he will make him eat all his food on his plate and if he would deny eating his food his father will refrigerate the left overs and made Art eat them the following day until there was no more food left. “Sometimes he’d even save it to serve again and again…

    This film takes place during the time of WW2. It shows how some families didn’t even know what their husbands were doing in the war. It also shows what goes on in their homes and how the soldiers treated the Jews. Also near the end it depicts the inside of the camp. It shows that the Jews really didn’t know what was going to happen to them when they went to go get gassed.…

    The movie was very powerful just to learn about hate crime and how it attracted a lot of attention from media as well as public all over the world due to his tragic death. Matthew was the type of person that was very approachable and always put his family and friends first. Even though the death of Matthew Shepard was undeserved I definitely think that some good has come out of it because it made people realize how much violence and hatred there in the world and what it can turn into. This tragedy helped the nation wake up to the fact that hate and discrimination still lives in our communities, schools and families. Mr. Dennis Shepard gave speech in tribute to his son Matthew brought tears in my eyes. I was able to connect and engage to that moment. That moment touched me so much that I couldn’t stop crying.…

    I had always heard of the things that were happening, but I had never truly seen what was being done. When I saw the bodies being pushed by the bulldozer it really hit me how terrible it was and that there was no limit, no stability or safety, no laws or order. These people were being denied so many of the basic needs on Maslow's Hierarchy. It was terrible for those who died, but for the ones who kept on living it was even worse. They had to live right next to their dead loved ones and endure the same treatment they did and they still pushed on! They still refused to give in and persevered through this atrocity. Another scene that really affected me was when the camera was panning over rooms full of hair. It was an awful scene and it showed how the Nazis treated the Jews as something to profit off of and how they saw them as less than human. Again this shows the power of the survivors who kept their humanity despite being treated terribly and…

    During the late 1930’s the world was contaminated by the Second World War and the Holocaust. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Holocaust is defined as follows: “a sacrifice wholly consumed by fire.” During the Holocaust, the Nazis, under the command of Adolf Hitler, liquidated over six million Jews. There is one Jewish survivor whose story especially touched my heart and changed my attitude towards life for the better. This amazing woman is Krystyna Chiger. Krystyna and her family escaped the Nazi liquidation by living in sewers for fourteen months (qtd. in “The Girl in the Green Sweater” 5). Accordingly, thorough assessments of my personal experiences according to the life lessons of Krystyna Chiger descriptively visualize the Holocaust and its everlasting impact on society.…

    The film is based on the memoirs of Wladyslaw Szpilman, this is a true story of what this man went through during Hitler’s reign. I feel like the plot of this film immediately sets it up to convey the information in a factual but emotive way, although because it is a memoir it also leaves it open to withhold a lot of information that might not be know and because they didn’t want to make parts of the story up they left the audience with quite a few unanswered questions.…

    In the 1940s, Nazi Germany expressed a deep hatred towards Jews, therefore leading to the death of over six million men, women, and children, creating what we now know as the Holocaust. In order to truly understand what happened under the Nazi regime, one must understand that there were dark, evil forces at work; and that through one man in particular, Adolf Hitler, these forces destroyed nearly two-thirds of the Jews on the planet. During the Holocaust, millions of lives were lost and millions more were affected in ways that we will never fully grasp. By watching the Oprah Special featuring the harrowing experience of Elie Wiesel, my perspective of the Holocaust was affected in more ways than by watching the movie…

    Imagine being a Jew stuck in a ghetto, their first thought would be "I am not fond fond of their evil, what ways can I show that?" Their condition was about how the Jews in the Holocaust were placed in various camps and ghettos throughout Europe and were forced to subdue to the laws. Although, during this period known as the Holocaust, the Jewish people participated in unarmed and armed resistances to preserve their humanity.…

    It is so well put together and it makes people feel as if they are the ones experiencing the Holocaust. I had tears running down my face a few times. (Okay more than a few) It is a moving experience and it is not set up like a teacher teaching it in school. The people that lived through this event came and talked and the people that are not a part of it but spoke about it dug deeper than just a huge amount of Jews dying. I especially liked this talk because all thought he Holocaust is a terrible time in history it talked about good things. This lady risked her life so that the children in the camp could have an outlet and stay alive. And the children make things that will last forever even though they do not. That is something that students do not get taught in school, but that I think has a bigger impact than a lot Jews…
