"A film Unfinished" Thomas Belden

This film to me was not all that shocking. If you have seen any Holocaust movies or even been to the Holocaust museum you will realize there is a lot worse. I am not saying that what happened in this film is ok because it is certanly disgusting how these people were treated. It still baffles me how mankind can be so cruel to its own people.
What did surprise me is how the Germans played this film off as a propaganda piece but yet forced Jews to act how they wanted them to act. It is sad how A lot of Jews seemed to think if they were picked to be an actor or actress they would have an easier life. They were sadly mistakes. There is a part of the film when all the Jews are in a movie theater and they are forced to be sad or be happy or be shocked, really just whatever expression the NAZIS told them to do. If someone disobeyed these rules they would be taken out by a soldier never to be seen again. They all did this from morning to night without any food, water, or bathroom breaks. I can only imagine how frightening and awful that would be.
Also watching the reactions of the survivors from that ghetto just told me how bad the place must of been. There were several scenes in the movie that almost all the survivors interviews would turn away from the screen or cover their eyes. This must of been a very horrifying and traumatic experience for them. Sometimes i complain in the world I am growing up in and how bad the economy is but it is nothing like what the people in the film are going through. I have a clean place to live, food in my stomach, and many more luxuries. To these people I would be living like a king. I am glad that survivors came out of that place. Those people are probably some of the strongest people you have ever met. To go through all what they did and then continue living and make something of themselves. This to me is crazy. Makes me wonder if I would ever be able to survive like that.
