Der Ewige Jude (The Eternal Jew)

Categories:

Nazism, Nazi Germany, and Fascism Racism, Antisemitism, and Prejudice

A visit to the Lodz ghetto in Nazi occupied Poland, recorded by German cameramen with the naive cooperation of the Jewish community, is combined with rare archival footage, clips from international newsreels, and excerpts from related cultural films to portray the World's Jews as swindlers and parasites. Note: It Is strongly recommended that viewers of this film be warned beforehand that it is a piece of deliberate Nazi propaganda designed to inculcate the most virulent and hateful manifestations of antisemitism. They should also be told that under coercion the Jews in the film are distastefully and cruelly exploited through the use of lighting and camera angles, let alone the powerlessness of their situation. (High School seniors and older.) B/W (62 min)
