Social Studies: Re-Creating The Past

In your own words, describe what the soldiers discover. What impact does the discovery have on the soldiers?

In one of the activities assigned for us to do, there was a short clip video from a film about the Holocaust. In my opinion and from what I've understood, the allies soldiers went to one of the concentration camps and they discovered the living conditions of the people there. In the scene, I saw a bunch of men waiting from the inside of the large prison, it had barbed wires with sharp ends. The people inside looked miserable, their bodies were skeleton-like, they had dark circles, pale skin, some of them were sick and malnourished and some were near their ends. The atmosphere was dull and gloomy. The soldiers discovered that the guards didn't have enough ammo to kill everyone in the concentration camps. The situation made an immense impact on the soldiers because no one could imagine that humans would treat their own kinds like animals. The Jews in those camps didn't have any resources, no food, no water. From the look on their faces, the soldiers were depressed, confused and heartbroken from what they saw.

  1. Hello Skyler,
    This is a very descriptive explanation about the Band of Brothers clips. You really thought through and spoke your points about your own opinion on the clips, and used many great describing words. I like that you have included some pictures of what the event might of looked like. I don't think there is any improving you need to do next time. Overall I enjoyed reading your post and keep producing awesome work.

  2. Hi Skyler,
    I like how you explained the feelings of the soldiers in the clip in great details using good vocabulary. With just the words alone, it paints a picture of what it must have been like in the reader's mind. Keep up the amazing work.
