    Warning: Spoilers
    ***This review may contain spoilers*** The short film Toyland is a story about a German family and a Jewish family. Since this film doesn't go chronologically, audiences need to keep paying attention to understand it. For example, at the beginning, aa boy is gone and his mohter goes ot find him, but next scene is very different situation. Also, this film shows how the discrimination against Jewish people by German people was like. In the film, Jewish people are insulted by police as if ther are not humans. In additon, they are taken to "Toyland." This is a secret language that the mother uses to her son. Definitely, "Toyland" is Aushwitz. I have seen some pictures of it and I was shocked by the disastrous scene. One thing I couldn't understand was the scene that German boy and his friend's father who is Jewish are talking about their secret. I couldn't get what the "rhinoceros" means. Overall, this film was very goodfor me since it was moving and let me think about the history.
