A Film Unfinished-Thien Tran



The “A Film Unfinished” is made bases on documents that the German filmed during the anti-Semitic time. The German made the film with the purpose of creating evidences about the reason why they killed thousands of Jews, and increased the anti-Semitic movement. However, their shady conduct had ended in failure along with the collapse of the Nazi.
The Jews were forced to live in the ghettos where were full of restrictions, laws and poor quality; they were only allowed to go out at specific time. When thee German filmed, they asked the Jews to walk around on the street, and had to pay no attention to the hungers; which would be used as an evidence of the Jews did not care for the poor. The German brought foods to the market and started filming to prove the Jews lived in good condition, but most of people there could not afford to buy those foods. However, Jews who were able to live in a better condition tried not to give up their humanity; some people who were caught in the act of smuggling food would be shot, therefore, smuggling food had decreased through time.
The German ordered people to come to the theater to cheer for the actors, audiences had to fake their laugh and bravo. When the German narrowed the Ghettos, they expelled the Jews from their home; they only had two days to find a new placed to live. The Jews were tired and exhausted from the living condition, so people just trashed their garbage through the windows. Some people even ate food from those piles of garbage. The Jews had nothing to eat; they walked on the street like a moving skeleton. Dead body lied everywhere on the street, so they piled the dead bodies up and buried them with many layers. Even though the Holocaust survived testimonies had experienced all of that, they still cannot stand when they watch the film. It shows how horrible the German had done to the Jews at that time.
The cameramen had never known what the purpose of the film was. It is impossible that how could someone did something they did not even know.
