"A Film Unfinished" Response by Dane Wommack

I felt this film was a very strong and realistic portrayal of how the Jews were treated during World War 2. Hearing what all the survivors had to say was also very interesting and sad to hear. I think one of the biggest things we can learn from the holocaust and from this film, is to just love one another and treat everyone as best as we can, even in hard times. When life gets tough, we often try to find scapegoats to place the blame on. As humans, we've done this a lot in the past, from segregation in the early to mid-1900s to the harsh treatment of illegal immigrants in our country now. It's human nature to repeat our mistakes and continue to make them, but I think it's best to make a strong effort in going against it.
I also found it very sad that the Jews had to bury their own and carry out a lot of the labor in carrying the bodies. This would be very morbid for anyone to have to attend to their own group of people in such a manner. Desensitizing themselves and ignoring others in trouble would be one of the only ways to cope with such an event. In order to take care of others you have to take care of yourself first. Normally seeing a child’s body on the street would have some effect in people passing by, but in a place of such poverty and suppression there’s not a whole lot one can do.
Overall, despite it being a very depressing way for me to start my morning, it was educational and necessary in teaching sympathy and to spark the passion to prevent such things from happening in the future, should that need arise.
