How do the characters in 'Life is Beautiful' represent an engaging and unique presentation of the Holocaust experience?

- The Game that Guido made up for Giosue in order to protect his son from the truth about the concentration camp
- The things that Guido did not just to help Giosue but what he did for Dora to tell her that they were both alright at the risk of being killed
- The way the movie is displayed through the eyes of the Jewish 
- The Holocaust Starts half way through the movie so that the viewers can gain a connection with the Characters in this movie so it creates a more emotional experience for the viewer when the holocaust starts
- The way in which Guido Finds humor in a depressing situation 

The characters in Life is Beautiful represent an engaging and unique presentation of the holocaust experience is the game that Guido made up for Giosue to Protect him from the truth of the concentration camp. He goes to great lengths in order to protect him from the truth. an example of this is about half way through the movie when the guards ask if anyone speaks their language, Guido volunteers himself to go up and translate. But Guido does  not do this, instead he makes up the rules for the game.


another way this movie represents an engaging and unique presentation of the holocaust experience is the way this movie is displayed through the eyes of the Jewish prisoners in the concentration camp. From this, we are able to see the torture that these prisoners went through on a daily basis.


The characters in Life is Beautiful represent an engaging and unique presentation of the holocaust experience is the way in which Guido finds humor in a depressing situation, and how he is able to make the people around him just that bit happier. an example of this is when he sneaks into the guards room and sends a message over the loud speaker to Dora. another example of this is when he is serving dinner for the German soldiers and he plays a record and turns it out the window and plays some music to Dora. He does all this at the risk of being murdered.
