1) This is my favorite film we watched the whole quarter. I liked how the viewer was able to get actual real emotion from people who were directly affected by the Holocaust. It was relatable because it wasn't an actor going through the script, it was a person going through panful memories from a tragic moment in their life. I also liked how it showed the people going back to the concentration camp and their hometown. It evoked raw emotions and let the viewer see how painful and affected these people are because of the Holocaust.
2) I liked the documentary better because it wasn't created and acted, it was actual past experiences. I also liked it more because there were different perspectives from the survivors, but all came to the same conclusion that humanity was the cause and not God, whereas in a docudrama, this conclusion is up to the viewer to decide.
3) The woman who carried the diamonds really compelled me. It is a strong testamate to how people did anything they could to keep a little piece of their previous lives. It was amazing how she would eat them everytime and recover them, not always cleaning them off sufficiently. It shows her strong will-power and determination not to give up, when she could've easily given up and died. It was also crazy how the image of the child being killed by being slammed into the truck. I am sure she has a million images that will always stick with her.
