Notoriously anti-Semitic German Nazi propaganda film by Fritz Hippler, under the direct supervision of Joseph Goebbels, whose intent was to create a film that would serve as “both a demonstration of the parasitical nature of the Jews and a justification for drastic measures against them.” The film consists of feature and documentary footage, combined with rare archival scenes captured shortly after the Nazi occupation of Poland and the establishment of the Ghettos.
