Kaleidoscope: A complex pattern of constantly changing colors and shapes

Page 3: Ashes Of  Auschwitz

The film should take a more kaleidoscopic approach not focusing on ONE character, but encompassing

more intensively the lives emotions, prejudices, and social circumstances of many different characters

including perhaps one or two more predominant NAZI characters. Because the events surrounding

the Holocaust are so complex and during the event changed drastically with different events it is

necessary that we provide a vision that is similar to manner of the Holocaust

Page 4: Ashes Of  Auschwitz

Why Hitler?World war one was over and it left Germany in a very bad economical status. Hitler started to work his way through

political venues spreading his message and propaganda. The message was clear and acceptable to many- the misfits and undesirable citizens were destroying Germany and must be

eliminated in order to purify and cause Germany to rise again.

Hitler is the savior of Germany?

Germany 1933: January 30th Hitler becomes chancellor of Germany. February 28 a series of emergency decrees declared – the government suspends many freedoms

including press, speech and assembly. March 20 Dachau established (originally a concentration camp for opponents of the

Nazis)April 1 Government organized boycott on Jewish stores

April 26 Formation of the Gestapo (Geheime Staatspolizei)June Hitler outlaws all political parties other than the Nazi Party

September Jews removed from various fields of entertainment including music, art, and literature

Other Ways this has worked in film.

THE METHOD THAT CRASH USES IN ITS DEPICTION OF THE LIVES OF SEVEN CHARACTERS, NONE OF THEM WHOM ARE THE MAIN WHOSE LIVES ARE DRAWN TOGETHER BY AN INSTANCE (IN THIS CASE THE CRASH)

THE FILM SUCCESSFULLY BRINGS THE CHARACTERS TOGETHER WHILE ILLUMINATING THEIR PERSONAL PLIGHTS; IN ORDER FOR SCHINDLER’S LIST TO WORK AS A TEACHING TOOL THE FILM MUST TAKE A SIMILAR APPROACH

Things start to go up in flames

1938, Germany:April 24 Jews must register their property

August 17 Jews are required to add "Israel" to their name for men and "Sarah" for women

October 5 Jewish passports are marked with the letter "J" for "Jude“

November 15 Jewish children expelled from German schools

This then creates a kaleidoscope effect.

Each Character being a part of the intricate pattern

Our savior turned out to be Satan

The term "Holocaust," originally from the Greek word "holokauston" which means "sacrifice by fire," refers to the

Nazi's persecution and planned slaughter of the Jewish people (Rosenberg, 2010).
