VideoReflection of the Holocaust

Out of the books, memoirs, and articles I've read on the Holocaust, numerous experiences were explained and shared. From small girls like Anne Frank, to grown men like Levi, each story and experience is different from the last. While one reads the atricles and written words, some prefer to see videos of the "live action". Yes, this is an influential tool, and yes, it can be helpful, but one never knows if this video is completely accurate and if these aren't just paid actors re-enacting a scene from the original WRITTEN work.  I don't think these videos would add an influential piece to it.
Though, I did watch some as required, and they seem over - dramatized and fake.

  1. I whole agree that some videos are exaggerated to maybe make the event seem worse than they were, but when it comes to the holocaust, because it was such a serious event, I don't think it was exaggerated.
