The Final Victory

1. What did you like about the film and why?
I like the story of Dr. Felix Zandman and how his hardships and
triumphs help him to become a better person and successful in life.

2. Describe how the documentary was organized and presented. And was it
effective?
The documentary film alternates between the past and the present.
The present shows Dr. Zandman visiting his old house in Poland and the
contributions he had made in electronics and his company, Vishay, and
the past shows how he struggled and survived during World War 2. This
technique by the director is very effective in making me see the
relationship of how his past has influenced him; push him to become
successful.

3. Provide three critical and substantial questions to address the issues and
values shown in the film.
What are the implications of Grandma Temas kindness to their
innkeeper?
When the innkeeper was about to give birth, she
asked help from Grandma Tema, her employer. Without
thinking twice, she helped pay for the innkeeper hospital
expense and she even let her live in their summer home in
the forest. This act of kindness would later be repaid by
the innkeeper by helping Grandma Temas grandson Felix
and his other relatives survive the Holocaust. If it wasnt
for Grandma Temas act of kindness, there wont be a Dr.
Felix Zandman neither will there be much technological
advancements available today.

Why was Dr. Felix Zandman eager to acquire the German
company, Telefunken?
Telefunken, the electronics company ran by the
German Nazis, was the jewel of the Third Reich providing
the government with technological achievements.
However, after the war, it went for sale and when Dr. Felix
Zandman heard of this, he quickly thought of acquiring it.
He knows that Telefunken was definitely Nazi and it was
involved in everything the German Army did. If he bought
it, it would be a victory for him, a Jew whom they
wanted to kill, could direct such a company.

Why did Dr. Felix Zandman help the Israeli Army improve their
tank and after that, he didnt ask for anything in return?
Dr. Felix Zandman was asked to help in improving the
tanks of the Israeli Army because the tank was very
inaccurate because of the bending of the cannon under too
much heat that when it shoots a target 1000m away, the
projectile would deviate 3 feet away from the target. Dr.
Felix was able to fin a solution and the tank became the
best tank in the world. He did this and he did not ask for a
fee, he gave this technology to the army for free. He loves
his country and his fellow Jew so much. Because for him,
to help his country advance is the most important thing
that he could have done in his life.



4. How do you think this documentary can be applied to our (Philippine)
society (issues, values, events)?
The documentary film about the life of Dr. Felix Zandman teaches us
how to be generous and selfless. He put to heart what his grandma told
him, which is It is better to give than to receive and what you give
remains with you your whole life, even after you die. which underlines
his values and outlook in life. We Filipinos, who are known to be
hospitable and friendly people, can apply these values in our daily lives.
