Unfinished Film Response


The movie The Unfinished Film is a documentary of staged and accidental un-staged video recordings of life in the Warsaw Ghetto. It was a compilation of videos, never put together, meant for the eyes of the German public only to continue to fuel the German’s systematic destruction of the Jews. This movie had a very great impact on my thoughts on the Holocaust; I have seen many documentaries on the Holocaust and pictures, but to have it put that graphically put it in a very new and very real light. I think that is the way it was for everyone in the classroom. The film shows how the Germans would torture the Jews by starving them, public humiliating them, and starving them. The films would show dead corpses along the side of the road, just lying in the street though there is no were to take the dead bodies, and there is a viedo clip of later on in the stages of the Warsaw Ghetto of the Jews digging a mass grave, and being forced to dump the dead into it, as many as the pit would hold, and the numbers were many. Nearly every single one having died of starvation. I think it is horrible the amount of terror that the Jews were forced to go through during World War I. One survivor who was intervied during the movie who had lived at Warsaw said that her mother had gotten an abortion shortly after the ity was made into a Ghetto, and if she hadn’t then they all would have been  killed because of that baby. I think it is a very sad thing that happened and a very sad movie and I hope the world never sees any thing like this again in our time or ever again.
