"Night and Fog" is a documentary based on the Holocaust. This documentary was recorded ten years later in the concentration camp of Auschwitz. In the documentary, we saw the barracks, the barbed wires, the crematoria,the watchtowers, and even the bathrooms. It was unbelievable to watch these places, and also to see and listen to the flashbacks. It was harsh to listen to the cries and the screams of the victims. It is amazing and hard to believe that people were able to live and and some of them even strong enough to survive and go on with their lives.
I found the film very powerful, because it didn't only take you through the places where these people spent horrible days, but it also showed flashbacks to show the experiences that people went through while at these camps. The scenes from "Night and Fog" were different from the scenes in "Schindler's List", I think that the scenes from "Night and Fog" were more real, because these images were actually real and they were not made in a Hollywood studio.
But I do believe that the film that explains the Holocaust more effectively is the Hollywood version. I think this becuase in the Hollywood version, unlike in the documentary, we got to see what it was like when the people were in the "Ghettos" and how it was like when they were being evacuated. It also showed the suffering that the people went through while at the concentration camps, things that the documentary did not show because it was just based on the concentration camp, but it still provided a good explanation of the Holocaust.
