Schindler’s List is a significant teaching tool in high school across the nation. There are far too many places worldwide that hate, intolerance and genocide still exist. The movie is not only about Jews or Germans it is about humans as a whole. This movie is about racial hatred and how many people still practice it nowadays. With the hope that Schindler’s List will awaken an awareness of such evil and inspire this generation and future generation to seek an end to racism. One aspect of how good and evil are portrayed in a number of different ways throughout the movie. This movie will remind high school students that there is hope no matter how difficult life may get, hatred still exist and how evil people are. I strongly agree that every

And Why Does it Persist?” uses many facts backed up with logical evidence, making his views on anti-Semitism seem even stronger. The author’s view on anti-Semitism is, “Anti-Semitism is not a mysterious “disease” anti-Semitism is the natural and understandable attitude of people toward a minority.” Following this statement the author gives many examples of Jewish-Zionists who share similar viewpoints on anti-Semitism. An instance being in paragraph six, when the author uses a quote from Chaim Weizmann: “Whenever the quantity of Jews in any country reaches the saturation point, that country reacts against them, this reaction is a universal social and economic reaction to Jewish immigration, and we cannot shake it off.” The author also uses Herzl, the founder of the modern Zionist movement’s, writings to back up his thoughts on anti-Semitism, “Herzl explained that anti-Semitism is not an aberration or a “disease,” but rather a natural response by non-Jews to alien Jewish behavior and attitudes.” Although the author continues to support his statements with evidence many of his opinions are very similar and repetitive. The author fails to provide new information to prove his views on

After Jake went to go get a napkin, the other kid threw all the Cheez-Its on the ground. Then there was a Cheez-Its food fight. Everybody started throwing food everywhere around the cafeteria.

During the 1920’s, anti-semitism reached its apex on affecting the lives of Jewish men an women. In the novel The Sun also Rises the theme of anti-semitism appears many times throughout the novel. Robert Cohn is faced with several anti-semitic remarks throughout the novel, which has a negative effect on him because he is treated differently and often looked down upon. Robert Cohn was from one of the richest Jewish families in New York, he attended Princeton and was named the middleweight boxing champion. Being a Jewish man going to Princeton made Cohn feel bitter, shy and inferior. The narrator of this novel, Jake who went to school with Cohn says that Cohn actually disliked boxing but he used it to “counteract the feeling of inferiority and shyness he felt on being treated as a Jew at Princeton” (Hemingway 11). Cohn was left out in Princeton and forgotten that Jake says he has “never met any one of his classmates who remembered him” nor did they remember that he was the middleweight boxing champion (Hemingway 11).

“Anti-Semitism has no historical, political, and certainly no philosophical origins. Anti-Semitism is a disease”- Daniel Barenboim. According to the “Merriam Webster Dictionary” anti-Semitism is defined as “hatred of Jewish people.” Two films were released in the 1990’s that deal with different issues involving anti-Semitism. One titled “Swing Kids” was set in Nazi Germany and tells the story of a group of teenage resisters who rebel by doing swing dance, but are forced to be involved with the Nazis anyways. The other film is titled”School Ties”. This film is set in the United states, but also deals with issues of anti-Semitism.

Sami starts to get bullied by a guy named Eddy and Sami chooses not to tell on him. Instead of telling the teacher to get rid of the problem he thought about how everyone else would think about telling and decided to let it go. This is betrayal because he knew he would get hurt every day, but he did not care about himself he cared about what others thought. Also, Eddy jumped Sami in the washroom and put Sami’s head in the toilet. Mr. Bernstein saw this and went to help Sami up, as He leaned over Sami Eddy took a picture and posted it on the internet.

Moreover, the film demonized Jews by portraying them as criminals. It provides false statistics to support its argument that Jews are responsible for a large portion of international crimes. The film demonized Jews also by describing their religion as being cruel that encourages usury. It states that their religion is made to hurt others and thus, the film compares Jews

In 1993, director Thomas Carter released Swing Kids, a movie following the lives of three rebellious teenagers living in Nazi Germany. The main characters are Peter Muller who is played by Robert Sean Leonard, Thomas Berger played by Christian Bale, and Arvid played by Frank Whaley. The PG-13 film was also produced by Harry Benn. The film centers around Peter's family who live in the Third Reich and face constant pressure in their daily lives to obey Hitler's reign and be active members of the HJ, or Hitler's youth army. The film is colorized and is not based on any novel.

When they walked into the barn something grabbed Brandon and everyone screamed. They tried to open the doors of the barn but they were locked then there was a light on the other side in the barn.They walked over to it and they saw Brandon and a clown behind him. Then Evan saw a knife on the floor and the picked it up. He threw it at the clown and the knife screamed in the air. Brandon ducked and ran. when the knife hit the clown they all ran as fast as they

In looking at film as propaganda, as presented in this text, this reader found irony amid the facts of documented Holocaust horror, where questions are raised as to race, class, and artistic

How they fought to live hungry and cold all the time. I would just hate that. It also showed you about Bruno and Shmuel's friendship and how it's good to have a friend to help you out when you're having a hard time. I think this movie means a lot to the world because things like this give people an idea of what happened to the Jews. Also this happened to a lot of families during WWII. This could also happen in other events around the world, people getting separated from their families. I think it also means that everyone should be treated fairly. The Jews did nothing wrong. I think that The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a very interesting movie, but I wish there was a better ending for Bruno. I don't think that Bruno, or any of the Jews deserved to die. I feel surprised that Bruno didn't know how awful it was on the other side of the fence, and that he still wanted to go there with Shmuel . Overall it was a good movie for me to see. It showed me how horrible prejudice can be. No one deserves to die or be tortured because of how they look or for their religion. I think we can learn from this movie that hating people for who they are is the absolutely wrong thing to

Friendship is a beautiful thing, especially when you have someone that’s there for you through tough times. One day one person can be your classmate and next your best friend. Watching this movie made be realize that I shouldn’t talk to more people, classmates because I too can meet someone who can potentially be my best friend and help me through my rough time. Just because everyone thought Muslims and Jewish people don’t get along or dislike each other doesn’t mean it’s true. Rochel and Nazira were once classmates, but didn’t talk till they started working together in the same classroom teaching 4th graders. Once it got to this part of the movie I just had a feeling something was going to happen and once they both stood

I think “Night of Surrender” serves to showcase the difficulty Holocaust survivors faced when attempting to transition back into the regular world. This tension faced by all Jewish survivors after World War 2 is the central theme of the story. We see the female protagonist struggle with trying to find happiness after staying relatively safe during the Holocaust. “I should be happy to have survived, but I wasn’t happy, and I was upset to be so sad” (Fink 93). The woman cannot seem to escape her past even on such a celebratory night the night of the surrender. She goes on to reveal herself as Jewish and talks about her struggle with her significant other Mike, saying “Do you know what it means to live in fear, lying, never speaking your own language. Or thinking with your own brain, or looking with your own eyes?” (Fink 100). I think Fink is showing us that it’s easy to think liberation brought about pure happiness for the Jewish people which enabled them to live happy fulfilling lives, however many were hurt emotionally beyond repair by the Nazi regime. What most startles me about this piece is the idea that even after the war people felt as if they had to hide their Jewish faith out of fear of Antisemitism. I liked how this story showcased the different viewpoints on Judaism during the time. While Antisemitism thrived in Europe, Mike who was an American didn’t seem to care at all that Ann was Jewish. The quote I think is worth discussing is when Ann states “My knowledge of
