I have always found Holocaust Documentaries very interesting. I really liked that there was a reading paired with the documentary. I felt like the reading helped me understand the documentary’s goal and message. I noticed how old the style and quality of the documentary was which did not appeal to me at first, but after reading that it was one of the first Holocaust documentaries to ever be made, I had a new found respect for it. I had this respect because it did do an excellent job of portraying the significant facts. Since it was only 32 minutes long, I felt like it was useful since it portrayed very concise information, just the important information people would need to know about the Holocaust. The reading did an excellent job explaining the meaning and message of the film, but also some significant points about the Holocaust. The film did an excellent job organizing the information. There was a clear beginning, middle, end which is sometimes challenging to see through a documentary.
