The Eternal Jew

1940 · 62 min

A grim, hateful propaganda piece that feels like a disturbing historical artifact, unsettling and manipulative.

Directed by
Fritz Hippler
Genres
Documentary
Starring
Mona Maris, Curt Bois, Fritz Kortner
Overview
A Nazi propaganda film made to promote anti-Semitism among the German people. Newly-shot footage of Jewish neighborhoods in recently-conquered Poland is combined with preexisting film clips and stills to defame the religion and advance Hitler's slurs that its adherents were plotting to undermine European civilization.
