a film unfiinshed


                 The film unfinished was created by the Nazis for the suspected use of propaganda against the Jewish people. The movie showed major contrast between the higher class Jewish communities to the begging part of the community. Even when I was watching I caught myself thinking of how these people could just walk by and not help their fellow man, but then I remember that most the scenes were staged. The documentary was very moving in another aspect because before I couldn't even imagine what they had went through. Even now after the movie I can’t imagine because it only showed what the Germans wanted us to see so allot of it was fake. The living conditions were so horrendous and I don’t understand how anyone could keep motivation for living and keep their appearances up. I would go into a deep depression and probably try and fight back. The Nazis that were sent to film the ghettos had to know what they were doing when they were tapping some of the drastic differences. I think they are just afraid to admit the truth to the camera and the world now.
I have such mixed emotions toward how things went down, and I don’t understand how a whole community could be rounded up and shoved into a town only guarded by a handful of Germans. If that would of happened now a days or in the u.s we would rise against and fight back. Why didn't they fight back when there were so many cooped together? Were they just too terrified or were they to passive maybe I just have had a different life style and I have higher expectations for myself.  Also what’s not told in the movie is that the Jewish community was promised work and better conditions so maybe that’s why they were so passive, but overall the movie is very graphic. Sometimes humiliating for what they have the Jewish peoples do in the staged scenes. I really didn’t want to finish the movie because the emotions it caused and just how horrifying to think that this took place not to long ago.
