The video we watched called “A film Unfinished” was a very disturbing kind of documentary. It gave you a very clear view of some of the atrocities committed by the Nazi’s in WW2. The propaganda in the creation of this film was so apparent that it’s hard to believe it was going to be put out for the public to see, even if it was edited. The things that were permitted in this time were deplorable to say the least, and watching some of what transpired in a real time setting made me sick to my stomach. How could people, any people treat an entire race with such hatred, such disgusting disregard that animals were treated better?
I understand the reason for having to study this kind of material, even if it does not interest me. It’s hard for me to find any kind of inspiration to study in depth this kind of information because of its dreary nature. I would think that most people would feel this way, but perhaps I am wrong. I would prefer to be told what happened, and be given the story in a parable setting, but I have a conscience and know the difference between right and wrong. I have to submit that some people do not, or why would we have to study these horrible things?
The impact that this movie has on me is the same that it was when I first learned what happened to the Jews at the hands of the Nazi’s during WW2. If something like this were to happen again, I would rather die doing the right thing then be caught up in that kind of treacherous debauchery. I would also like to think that the human race have evolved past the point of this kind of thing, even though I know that to be a naïve notion, and that evil very rarely dies, just takes naps until we forget the travesties committed by our ancestors. In seeing what I have written, perhaps the study of such things is more important then I give it credit for.
