Jennifer Carlson- A Film Unfinished

This film was very difficult to watch. To see the pain and suffering that the Jewish people went through was almost unbearable for me. The conditions they lived in, in the Ghettos, was despicable. Not even dogs should live that way. The filming of the Jewish people living in luxury, was a sick joke and just another way to torture and torment them. It's hard to believe something like this happening just because of your religion. How can human beings treat other human beings like they are lower than animals? Do they not have a conscience? I felt sad for the old ladies in the theater watching this for the first time since it happened. It had to have been really hard for them. It was hard for me to see the people skin and bones, starving and ill. I couldn't imagine walking down the street or sidewalk and seeing corpses laying all around wondering if I was next. What must have been going through their mind when they saw them? I was surprised that the Jewish didn't take better care of their people. It was as if they had no compassion when someone died. They just through them up on the carts and hauled them off like rag dolls. Of course the Germans probably forced them to do it. The way that they buried the Jews was just horrible and disrespectful. They just slid them down into a massive hole one on top of the other. They could have at least left their clothes on them. Hadn't they embarrassed them enough? It was also heartbreaking seeing the innocent little children starving and not understanding what was going on. Maybe it was a good thing that they didn't understand. No child should ever have to learn such evil. I don't really understand what the Germans thought they would gain by killing all the Jews. I think it makes them look like cowards. What did the Jews ever do to them? I feel saddened by all the lives lost during the Holocaust, but I hope that this tragedy brought forth some good.
