Schindlers List is a 1993 film showing the horrors of the holocaust. It was directed by the Jewish director Steven Spielberg and based on a novel. It is based on a true story about Oskar Schindler, and how he saved 1200 jewish prisoners life. The film shows a detailed and disturbing view on how the jews where treated at the concentration camp. The film was successful on depicting how Auschwitz's camp treated its prisoners.
The film had many brutal scenes of realism. It showed the death of innocent children, which was disturbing and emotional. All of the victims where innocent, and the punishments as cruel as the punisher's. Although the film was powerful and moving, the Hollywood movie did not prove as shocking as the realism of the film Night and Fog. Night and Fog shows real footage of the camp and its horrors. It shows the buildings of Auschwitz's and what their purpose was. What was most horrific and disturbing was the dumping of actual dead bodies into a burial, a horror no Hollywood m0vie could replicate.

Film: Night and Fog
Night and Fog is a 1955 french documentary film, showing the horrors of the Nazi concentration camp. The film uses still images and actual footage taken by German Nazis to describe the process of the Germans taking their prisoners to a Nazi camp, and the horrors that await them there. The film shows the abandoned Auschwitz camp, and each buildings dangerous purpose, each with gruesome results. The Jewish prisoners are forced to endure manual labor, but this is only a excuse for the Germans mass murder.
The chilling scenes of the actions carried out by the Nazis proves much more power full and disturbing than that of a Hollywood movie such as Schindler's List. The haunting images of the Nazi prisoners bodies being pushed by a bulldozer into a hole in the ground, and the disposal of thousands of bodies may be too powerful and real for some viewers. But the realism of the film is its most powerful feature, and depicts the events of the Nazi concentration camps much more than any Hollywood counter part.
