"Night and Fog"

Some of my reactions to the film "Night and Fog" was shocking. I have found the film as powerful becaues the Jews was set of and torchered at camps that Hiter started. The movie "Night and Fog" shown and gave more detail than the other movie and the movie "Schindler's List" only tells us how the Jews hide and taken away from there homes by the Nazis and force into work at facteries and families taken away or killed. The film "Schindler's List" illustrates the Holocaust more effectively because the shown how the jewish kids try to hide from the Nazis
and the shown how the jewish work and being killed.

"Schindler's List"
"Schindler's List" illustrated the Holocaust by showing what the Jews did to try to hide from the Nazis and they shown that what the Nazis do to them and how the Jews was put to work. The scene that I thought that was powerful from the movie was how the Nazi soldiers went to the Krakow ghetto to take all the Jews by force and I also thought that the part when the Jews went into the field and went to work by digging up all the dead bodies of the Jewish people and gathered the bodies together and burn the all the bodies at once. The image that will stay with me was the part that all Jewish people was taken away and force to work for the Jews in the camps that they was sent to because when I saw a the Jews hiding from the Nazi they all looked frighten that they will be caught by the Nazis so they hide under the floor broads, pianos, etc. and all the Jews might have died in the process of the kid napping.

US Atomic Bombing of Japan in 1945
Yes, I agree that the US Atomic bombing of Japan is the #1 news story of the century because it was a suprise that the US and german scientist got together to create this powerful bomb and after using the A-bomb so many people have died in the process because of the explosion and the radiation that went all over the world. I think 9/11 would be in the top 4 biggest news story that I heard. I would just add my news story to number 4 spot in the top 100 news stories right after "Japan bombs Pearl Harbor: United States enters World War II" from 1941.Because the first three top news stories seem like an important part of history.

Germany at War - WW II

Propaganda-information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc.The poster tells me that "Germany has destroyed Great Britain". Germany and the other nations at war was illustrated on Germany beat Great Britain with an iron fist and Germany became triumphant over Great Britain. The iron fist shows that Germany didn't give up without a fight there are also pictures of factories, large land, and a bed, there is also a symbol of a hammer and chisel
