Nazism

We are faced with totally two different films, and below I will give my point of view of the two
films.

The first film it's call Triumph de Willens, a film basically based on how Hitler wanted the entire
country to believe in him and in everything he was promising to them. I was amazed to see how
people were treating him, like a god, just wanting to hear him speak, dying to shake his hand.
People were cheering for him, women wanted to touch his hand, man wanted to follow his orders,
and everyone seem happy about everything that he was saying and promising.
Hitler wanted to another side of him, a humble side of him that not everyone knew he had, he
didn't wanted to waste any opportunity he had and shake people's hand to show them he wanted
to protect them in a way.
He wanted to show his country that he wanted unity and peace, and that everyone is there to protect
Germany, and if they die, they die protecting their country. For example, he said "Work will no
longer be a divided concept, but one that unites all", meaning man and women will work equally.
He also said "We want to see no more class divisions", meaning everyone is going to be united
no matter what, and that's what he wanted for his country.
I didn't know this side of Hitler, the side that wanted peace and love for his country, no I always knew
the bad guy. The guy that everyone hated, but I guess at the beginning he needed to convince
everyone to believe in him, and then when he accomplished that, then he changed.

The second film it's call Night and Fog, a total opposite film of Triumph de Willens. In this film we
see a more dark, violent side, a film that shows the liberation of the Nazi Concentration camps.
It's very disturbing to see in what conditions they were having captivated this innocent people,
with no water, being torture, barely no food, and in horrible sanitized conditions. People were taken
to these camps for no reasons at all, and they were treated like animals, nonstop working in climate
temperatures were they couldn't resist and die.
I knew about the concentration camps, but this film has opened my eyes in the way that we are
very lucky to be in the place that we are today. This people suffered so much especially during
the Holocaust, and we have no idea what is like to live in those conditions.
