After watching "Night and the Fog", i left with a higher knowledge of concentration camps of the 1940's. In the film, the director shows the camps during the genocide and then after with the noce flowing grass and flowers. The beautiful lawns that disguise the horror and mass murders that occured 11 years earlier dresses the movie with an ironic display.
Throughout the documentry, the director shows real footage of the disposal of the jewish prisoners at Auschwitz. After watching all the hollywood versions of the holocaust, this documentry really gives off a powerful feeling of what really went on sixty years ago.
To me, I think that Speilberg's movie showed more of what really went on in the Holocaust. In his hollywood version he showed the emigrating of all the jews to the ghettos, then ultimately to the concentration camps. Also, the director showed the burning of the bodies and the random shootings in the ghettos.
