Film Summary

Warsaw was the largest ghetto in occupied Poland. Decade’s later German Propaganda films of the ghetto in Warsaw were discovered in an underground bunker. On viewing these films the most hardened person could cry. The “life” that the Jews had to endure is beyond all comprehension. I cannot understand how something like this could be done by another human being. The suffering to adults is heart wrenching to see, but to see those poor innocent children and babies is too much. To know that babies were thrown in the air and used as target practice, bashed into walls, and or starved to death or near death is more than the soul can endure. It’s no wonder people shut down not only to survive what they were witnessing but, for preservation of themselves. I was extremely curious at what the “actors” felt doing these films, and the Jewish police, how they felt doing that to their own people. Let’s not forget the Film Makers how in blue hades did they sleep at night. Even if they did not agree with what was being done, how could you see it and do nothing. If we take nothing more away from this film and these assignments, we are all human beings and deserve at least the respect of that. Last but not least, like my Momma always said if you can’t say something nice or be nice take yourself to your room. Maybe Hitler’s mother should have taught him that.
