"Drinking one more sip of soup is equivalent to one more hope of living..."

"One more sip of soup is equal to one more hope to live." This is a commentary that left a deep impression on me. It fully reflects the strong desire of the Jewish refugees in the concentration camps to survive. But will their efforts really come to fruition? Closing my eyes, I can still clearly see the hair of the female prisoners that are strewn throughout the warehouse, the corpses that are lying on the slate like raw materials and have been decapitated for soap, and the corpses in the gas chamber. Nail prints everywhere. The creepy black-and-white images, the silent indictments of persecuted Jews, feel more convincing than any words.
Whatever class, whatever status, everything in the concentration camps is fake. No matter men, women, young or old, rich or poor, they were all buried naked by bulldozers...
I was in a trance for a moment, the headless body lying on the slate is really like us. It used to think and laugh. human? And the things that were eaten by rats and buried by bulldozers in mass graves were really human beings who used to be able to speak and express their thoughts? Yes! They are indeed human! And the people who made them like this were also human! I sincerely pray that such a tragedy will not happen again, and humanity does not need another "Night and Fog"!

    Even if it is a quiet and peaceful scenery, even the pasture in the harvest season, there are crows hovering above the head and haystacks, even the paths where vehicles, farmers, and lovers come and go, even the remote countryside with churches and markets , Can lead to concentration camps. Nuerngeum, Belson... These were originally place names that were plain on the map and compass. The blood donation has dried up, and the mouthpiece has been silent. The camera is the only visitor there

    Alain Resnais made a short documentary about the concentration camps for the French culture department, ok, it is considered an intellectual from both perspectives, and a few impressions (the funniest is the letter and a shop, sold for hk$ 140, Zhong If a director is good at making comedies, ah)

Night and Fog quotes

  • Récitant/Narrator: With our sincere gaze we survey these ruins, as if the old monster lay crushed forever beneath the rubble. We pretend to take up hope again as the image recedes into the past, as if we were cured once and for all of the scourge of the camps. We pretend it happened all at once, at a given time and place. We turn a blind eye to what surrounds us and a deaf ear to humanity's never-ending cry.

  • Récitant/Narrator: 1933 - The machine gets under way. The nation must all sing the same song, with no wrong notes.
