accept. It hurts to see a family so happy get torn apart. There is an element of realism here as well with the awareness that this did happen to many families during the time of the Holocaust. I believe this movie could have been approached with a little more sensitivity towards the tragedy of the Jewish people. I don t know if this movie captured the magnitude of what happened in reality but the humour allowed you to see the movie without feeling the horror of the traditional imagery of massacres. These films gave me two different perspectives of the Holocaust. It gave me one from a paternal sensitive view and one from a victim s point of view. This would give someone compassion for what the Jewish people went through. It also taught me that you could get through the toughest

times. It may give one a better understanding of suffering from a family perspective. In Escape from Sobibor it affected my perspective in giving me a better understanding of their determination for survival and the incredible amount of self-control they must have had in holding back their anger of the Nazis. The lessons this can teach others and me are lessons of compassion for differences in religion, values, and perseverance. The lesson of self-control is something we all face when we are looking at situations that we don t want to be in. Self-control can be in anger management, watching what we say and how we handle our problems. The danger of this in relationship to the Nazis though would be to allow that anger to bottle up and explode. I might improve the film Life is

Beautiful by making it a little more serious with more factual information but still keeping the humour. In Escape from Sobibor it seemed that the free time shown in the movie by the prisoners was unrealistic. This may have been factual but it didn t seem to flow with the film. I might take this part out and show more meaningful relationships and more scenes like that of those in Shindlers List. I would recommend both films because they gave such different and unique ways of portraying concentration camps and the life and times while there. It brings awareness of the tragedy to the forefront and these movies, fictional or fact, does not allow the tragedy to die. Life is Beautiful is a fictional movie based on the surrounding facts of the Holocaust. Escape from Sobibor is a true

story written by a survivor himself. In Life is Beautiful, it allowed you to feel the compassion of the situation despite the Nazi concentration camp. This movie showed me how to live life positively. Escape from Sobibor allowed you to feel the desperation and hopelessness of the Jewish people. Both movies depicted people of courage facing tragedy. The movies were entertaining, and evoked many emotions. They evoked emotions of sadness, horror, disbelief and pain. They represent true horrors in our history that should not be repeated or forgotten. Movies that continue to entertain educate and remind us or show us what we as humans are capable of doing to each other should continue to be produced so that we don t forget. One film being factual and one being fictional offered two

different views of the Holocaust. Life is beautiful written and produced by a non-Jewish person gave a compassionate view of the times written with the surroundings of the Holocaust, where in Escape from Sobibar the movie was the Holocaust and the events were the essence. I enjoyed watching both movies but enjoyed watching Escape from Sobibar better. I found this movie to be more true to reality about the life and times during the Holocaust, the concentration camps and the suffering of the people. Life is Beautiful was fun to watch and showed an enormous amount of sensitivity from parent to child and sacrifice but that story could have been written in other times of history. Not to take away from the horror of separation from family and death in the camps but in Sobibar it showed

the reality of the horror. The fear, the random shootings, the work camps, the gas chambers, the massacres. This is what I believe will never make people forget.
