Never Again-The Holocaust

This video clip is the most moving portrayal of the suffering and injustice that Jews, Romanians, homosexuals, poles were faced with during the Holocaust. The first technique that the videoographer has done is in the music selection. Although the song is sang in German, you can feel the hopelessness, despair, anger, and sadness. Secondly, they show very raw and graphic pictures that deal with starving children and adults, the e, mass burials, gas chambers, etc. This video could be shared with students not only to critically analyze film technique, but what is the author's powerful message?
