night and fog

Night and Fog was a very powerful document. its most of taken alot of guts to go back and see it all over again in those camps. well night and fog was made 10 years after the camps and the war was over by a french man, the words the narrator said were very powerful and showing all the camps and the enterance sigh all of it and showing us before and after scence when i saw this movie it made me wonder what all those people went thought for 6 years, and actually i kind of noticed that some of the scences from night and fog were on schindlers list, like that train scence and the enterance sign and the bathroom scence with the dead bodies one. like im saying this movie is powerful and some scences are graffic.

schindler's list

the movie schindler list illustrated the holocaust, because the movie gave us the veiwers an idea the holocaust was like. how much those people worked, suffer and how many people died in 6 years. just by seeing the movie i saw everything the jews went thought and everything that happened during those 6 years of war and fighting. i think the scence that got the most to me was the part when the german took the little kids away to kill them. it most of been tuff for all those women to know that they werent going to see there children anymore. i know that if i was in the situtation i would probably die. and another scence was when they sended the women to the wrong camp, the germans cut the women hairs about to burn them schindler reached them and got there women, but the german wanted to kill the children but schindler lied to save the little girls lives. unlike the other nazis schindler cared about thw jews he helped them out and everything, unlike the germans he didnt killed them or anything. so he was a good nazi.

Treaty of Versailles

the treaty of versaille effected germany alot. the treaty stated that germany was suppose to give up some of there land. there was no more army men, and they took all arms weapons. September 10, 1919, established the Republic of Austria, consisting of the truncated, German-speaking regions of the Habsburg state. The Austrian Empire ceded crown lands to newly established successor states like Czechoslovakia, Poland, and the Kingdom of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs, renamed Yugoslavia in 1929. It also relinquished the South Tyrol, Trieste, Trentino, and Istria to Italy, and Bukovina to Romania. An important tenet of the treaty barred Austria from compromising its newly formed independence, which effectively barred it from unification with Germany, an aspiration long desired by PGermanists and an aim actively advocated by Austrian-born Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist Nazi Party. The other portion of the Dual Monarchy, Hungary also became an independent state: under the terms of the Treaty of Trianon June 4, 1920, Hungary ceded Transylvania to Romania; Slovakia and Transca rpathian Rus to the newly formed Czechoslovakia; and other Hungarian crown lands to the future Yugoslavia. The Ottoman Empire signed the Treaty of Sevres on August 10, 1920, ending hostilities with the Allied Powers; but shortly thereafter a Turkish War of Independence began. The new Republic of Turkey,established in its aftermath, signed a superseding Treaty of Lausane in 1923 effectively partitioning the old Otoman Empire.
