GERMAN 3252 Lecture 25: German notes; 12/1 & 12/6--Lec. 25AND26
Document Summary
Darkness took place in lvov, ukraine, which was soviet-controlled until 1941. What is happening at the beginning?--the soviets have been pushed out, the germans have taken power, and it is a bit of a struggle for the native poles to gain some power of their own. Some ukrainians lived here (more in lvov than elsewhere in poland); germans list. Ukrainians were brutal in carrying out the final solution -- the film substantiates this a bit (e. g. the friend who comes to poldek socha"s house for alcohol--he"s ukrainian. He wears the uniform of ukrainians charged with the task of liquidation/clearing out ghettos. Back to the film/ukraine as a whole: some. Jews were hiding in lvov apartments, but eventually they couldn"t do that anymore. Poldek socha is portrayed as an every man kind of character, unlike liam neeson"s or daniel craig"s characters (we"re not sure how popular the actor who plays poldek is in poland).
