Hey Aslan, if you do not have an answer that is useful or if you have not watched the film please do not respond it does not assist in answering the question.
"Terrible Things: An Allegory of the Holocaust" is a short film that uses the allegory of animals to represent the experiences of individuals during the Holocaust. In the film, forest animals live peacefully until one day, the Terrible Things, who represent the Nazi regime, arrive and start taking away animals one by one. The animals who are taken away represent different groups that were targeted by the Nazis, including Jews, homosexuals, and people with disabilities.
The film is an allegory in that the animals represent real people and the events in the film are symbolic of the experiences of individuals during the Holocaust. The use of animals also makes the film accessible to a wider audience, including children, while still conveying the gravity of the subject matter.
The film's message is that people must speak out against injustice and oppression, or there can be dire consequences. Animal allegory is a powerful way to convey this message and help people understand the extent of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust.
