Night and Fog

1.  I thought this film approached the holocaust in a way that went down to the persecuted's perspective.  It described what happened in a concentration camp through images and pictures.  I also like how it changed from black and white to color to represent the past and the present.
2.  The image that stuck out most to me is the how the camp looks present day.  It looks really nice with the grass and trees.  It is a stark contrast to the way it looked like during the Holocaust.  It just shows how deceiving the Holocaust was.  It seemed like a patriotic act, however in reality it was a mass murder.
3.  I think it is necessary to show graphic images just so people can get the effect of the event.  It is one thing to talk about what happened, but to physically see what occured in the camps is a humbling experience to the hype surrounded by the word "Holocaust."
4.  It was helpful because the subtitles combined with the music were distracting, so it helped to have a background knowledge of what your viewing.
