NIGHT and Fog
The movie "Night and Fog" gave me quite a surprisng reaction.The movie was very graphic beyond imaginable.I loved the movie mostly due to the fact it was actual footage and not an edited version.Watchin the movie made me feel as if I were apart of every scence.I felt as if I were feeling the torture and taurment that the jews felt.This film was very powerful it gave me a better understanding of the holocaust.The movie was more graphic compared to Shinder list.Shinders List was a hollywood film Night and Fog was a documentary making it factual.Shinder's list was an edited version of the holocaust and Night and Fog was the real story with the actual surviors and footage.This is why inmy opinion Night and Fog best illustrates the holocaust.

"Shindler's List"
"Shindler's List" was a very graphic movie.It showed how the jews were treated.Jews were beaten killed even sent to death camps where they faced the most horrrific deaths imaginable.This movie showed how the Jews were forced to go on trains and were on their way to death camps.They were crammed in to tiny trains cars that was hot and terrible conditions.This movie also shows the holocuast and what the Nazi's did to the jews.Though graphic and brutal it allowed me to see the pain and torture the jews went through.It also made me more interested in the film and gave me a better understanding.
The scence from the movie that will stay with me is when the jews get moved t0 the ghettos.The ghetto was a small area in which many jews were crammed in to.These places were surrounding by obstacles so the jews could not escape.Living conditions were harsh.This scence will stay with me because I have always thought growing up in a bad neigborhood was considered the ghetto but as I saw the word ghetto originated from the holocaust.

Atomic Bombing of Japan
I disagree with the article about the Bombings in Japan being the top news story of the century.The bombings were indeed very important but should not be ranked #1.The bombing showed U.S was superior to all .It took hundreds of thousands of lives.I agree with the bombing thoigh taking many lives it also saved millions more in the long run becuase it put an end to the war.The U.S. not only used the bomb to signify power and advancement but also used Japan as an example which showed the world our power and bravery.
Everything on the article is in the right place except for the discovery of aids.This should be ranked #1.Millions of people have aids and most of them are not aware.Aids also has the highest death rate of Afican Americans.Aids is a very serious disease.There is believed to be not a cure but i believe there is.The goverment just wants to make money off the people charging a million dollars for a cure this is another way of decreasingthe earths population.Though it is my opinion many would agree the discovery of aids should br ranked #1 and the bombing of Japan ranked #2.

Germany at War
Propaganda is a way of spreading new ideas, the view of indivisual perspectives. Propaganda is usually used to help support an idea, or to express a view or an opinion. It can be shown in many ways such as posters commercials, , and in cartoons.
The poster shows that if the Nazi's have taken over Europe andtakes over other countries it will be a great success for Hitler. The cross represents the Prime minister of Britain,stating Britain will collaspe due to the Nazi's . The iron fist shows that Germany is ready for war and is going to take over the Soviet Union. The iron fist punching a man in his face is indicating it is Stalin who in which was a great leader of the Soviet Union. Stalin helped the Soviet Union grow and industrialize.
There is also a picture of a baby in a cradle which shows security among the German people. The expansion and prosperity of Germany is indicated by the picture of land that will increase living space. The picture of a factoryi ndicates that Germany is producing mass amounts of weapons for the war .Germany will bring more resources which could be used within the factories. I find this poster mainly to be showing Germany's superiority to other countries and showing Germany's expansion in Europe. This poster shows Germanys future goals not actually being factual but more of a fantasy.
