Reflection on the film Schindler’s List

We are learning about the historical background to the Holocaust memoir Night, by Elie Wiesel.
We watched the 1993 movie Schindler’s List, directed by Steven Spielberg.

1. Which parts of the film did you find hardest to watch? Why do you think those parts affected you the most? When the holocaust started and they started killing people.

2. Which parts of the film gave you some positive feelings? Why do you think that was? When Oskar saved the Jews by letting them work in his factory and sacrifice himself for them.

3. What questions or issues do you have in mind now about the Holocaust, Human Rights, or anything else after watching this film? Why do the y have to kill the Jews and do they really have to start a war and kill over 6 million Jews?

4. What suggestions do you have for activities for the class to explore these questions? I want to learn more how they started and want to know every detail that happened in the holocaust.

 

The Jewish People and the Jewish Religion

We are learning about the historical background to the memoir Night, by Elie Wiesel.

  1. We watched two videos about Judaism (the Jewish Religion) and the Jewish people. Some things I found out were. I learned about Judaism religion and some of their words like Tzedakah. They were slave before but God set them free after 200 years and they travelled until they found a place where they started a Judaism religion.                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
  2. One thing I thought was interesting was?  How did they manage to learn the 613 commandments in the book of Abraham?
  3. I would like to find out more about?  Learn more about the Judaism religion.

I don’t think about spirituality in my life or learning. I’m starting to understand spirituality and respect it in different situations. I understand the importance of spirituality and show it in my behaviour. I deeply understand and participate in or show respect for spiritual customs in various situations. I maintain a deep understanding and respect for spirituality and different beliefs.
