Night and Fog discusses death in a blunt way. This film is focused on showing the atrocities that lead up to and encompassed concentration camps. In this film, they focus on how those who were in the concentration camps dealt with the constant threat of dying, in a situation that was caused by other people as opposed to an accident, or natural causes. (Dauman, Halfon, Lifchitz & Resnais, 1956.) Just as Dr. Crane suggested I had a difficult time watching this film. Frankly I never want to see this movie again, nor do I want to recommend anyone else watch it either; that is how uncomfortable this film made me. Strangely as strongly as I never want to recommend it, nor see it again, I feel as though this is an important film to view and my reasoning for those beliefs can be summarized by the quote, “War nods off to sleep but always keeps one eye open.” It is important for us to know and attempt to comprehend the material that is shown in the film, because if we were to forget or ignore the horrors of what occurred then we, as a society, are not prepared to develop solutions that will prevent genocide from occurring. It is obvious from the fact that other genocides have occurred since the Holocaust, and still occur presently, that it is crucial that we use the past to learn how to fix this issue.
