A few days ago, I watched the movie "A Bag of Marbles" and felt very deeply. The film is based on the autobiographical novel "Marble bags" by the famous French contemporary writer Joseph Joof, which tells the difficult situation of the persecution of the Jewish people in France under German occupation during World War II.
The film's protagonists, Morris and Joe, are young Jewish brothers whose father runs a barbershop and the whole family lives happily. However, due to Nazi persecution, they were forced to flee. In the long career of escape, not only the tension of escaping Nazi persecution, but also the help of many unknown people, and the brief time of family together, this film is full of silent warmth.
"It's so blue!" "We've finally arrived."
The movie is called "A Bag of Marbles", and the film begins with two brothers playing marbles. Then, however, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. The Jews were forced to sew a yellow five-pointed star with Jew written on their clothes, so the two brothers were discriminated against and bullied by their classmates at school. One of Joe's classmates exchanged the bag of marbles for his five-pointed star, a practice that was especially valuable in an environment where Jews were discriminated against. This bag of marbles runs through the film, reflecting not only the light of human nature, but also the Jewish people's yearning for freedom and equality.

If you want, I'll carry you to the end of the world.
Fearing that too many people would be discovered, the brother and brother were forced to separate from their parents and embark on a path of fleeing alone. On the train, they were checked by the Germans, and because they did not have documents, they were very afraid.
It was at this time that the pastor stood up.
The priest admonished them to be calm, handed his brother an apple, and told the Germans that they were together. Under his cover, the two brothers successfully escaped. The pastor gave them the first lesson and taught them that they should be calm no matter what, and that apples should not be eaten at all times.
"Don't trust anyone."
When they arrived in the countryside, they thought they had encountered a liar on the ferry, and when they were almost discovered by the Germans, the man saved them and another family. As he walked, his brother's feet were worn out, and his brother carried him on his back, and the road was far and endless, and the brother carried him like this, as if he were going to the end of the world.
After much hardship, they finally reached the Italian occupation zone, where they were briefly reunited with their families. However, the good times did not last long, italy was defeated, and they were forced to embark on another escape journey.
"It's better to be slapped than to lose your life."
"Promise me that you won't be separated from me from now on, okay?"
When the brothers were caught, the brother needed to get the baptism certificate within two days, and the younger brother persuaded the brother to run away alone, thinking that a living person was better than two dead people, but the brother had to come back no matter what. They're all thinking about each other just because they're brothers.
When they were desperate, the archbishop helped them. The archbishop helped them to open the certificate, and the doctor saved his brother who had meningitis. The doctor is Jewish, and the doctor is the one who tests who is Jewish, but the doctor also let them go and gave them a second lesson: death does not favor you twice, which means that you must live.
"Death doesn't favor you twice, it means you have to live."
In the process of fleeing, no matter what time, there will always be some kind people to help, and the threat of death has always haunted the two brothers, but they have brought spring.
I think the brothers survived because of optimism, hope and love.
Love and hope are so important to human society.

In a world of hatred, we must still be full of hope; in a world of despair, we must still dare to dream.
Hitler was an extreme racist and anti-Semite, and the brothers in the film managed to escape, but six million Jews were slaughtered in World War II, and the real life was far less fortunate than in the film.
These days after watching the movie, I've roughly looked up this history and been struck by the brutality of the Nazis.
They initially shot Jews with pistols and then buried their bodies in mass graves. Then there was poison gas killing. Initially using car exhaust gases, since 1942, Germany has been using hydrogen cyanide to kill people.
In December 1941, Germany built six homicide camps in Poland, including Auschwitz and Treblinka. After the Wannsee Conference on January 20, 1942, which implemented the "final solution to the Jewish question," Nazi Germany began using these camps to kill Jews. Auschwitz would leave behind men doing hard labor, but other camps would not. In 1944, the Germans did not forget to speed up the killing of people in concentration camps. By the time of liberation in 1945, the few thousand people who survived were no longer there.
"I am..." "I see."
"I'm Jewish!"
But even in today's peaceful world, without genocide, racial discrimination still exists.
In the film, the Jewish people were persecuted by the German Nazis, and today, black people are still treated unfairly in many places; in World War II, the Jewish people were at risk of genocide, and today, black people still suffer the harm caused by racial discrimination. Racism is an age-old theme, and for as long as it exists, freedom and equality are far away.
Isn't the Floyd affair in the United States today, and the anti-racist marches everywhere today, the result of racial discrimination?
We should understand that everyone has the right to life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness, and these rights are sacred and inviolable.
Everyone should have a dream and pursuit of freedom and equality, and as long as black people are still suffering from the brutal persecution of the American police, the pursuit will not stop.
I hope that one day, the voice of freedom can spread throughout the villages of the United States, spread to every town, and finally resound around the world.
