Methods of Torture #9: Schindler's List

Today I watched Schindler's List. I found this film to be very interesting and realistic. There was a scene where the ladies thought they were going to be gassed  from the rumors that had been spread but they were actually taking a shower  in a dark chamber (Spielberg). I thought this scene was one of the most realistic scenes because at the moment I was deathly afraid for their lives as well. So many emotions battled through my heart. Some feelings of hatred and anger towards the Nazi murderers and then some of compassion and care for the people who helped the Jews escape their deaths. I have been reading so much about how the Nazis tortured the Jews but I never really understood how it would truly take away all their hope.This film opened my mind to the carelessness of the Nazis who killed for no reason and how the Jews could not do anything to make themselves feel safe or protected.
