I watched the movie The Devil's Arithmetic. It is about a teenage girl who is jewish. This girl doesn't really believe in her faith. During one of the jewish celebrations, there is this thing that has to do with the door. She opens the door and finds herself back in time during the Holocaust. She gets taken to a concentration camp, and is put to work. When people started getting sick;the Nazis started killing them. So while they were working, the soldiers picked out the sick ones and took them to one of the death chambers. This teenage girl pretended to be sick for her cousin so she wouldn't die. They kill the girls with gas and then when she is dead. She returns back to her own time and finds herself in the same doorway, In her own time.

This movie set a real image for the Holocaust. It wasn't a good time. How badly they treated people. The jews didn't do anything wrong and were killed for no reason. This movie was a good way to show how bad the Holocaust really was.
