Format:22x29.5cm. Punch marks. Good state of preservation.

Film program no. 3152 of a 1940 German propaganda film directed byFritz Hippler. The film was inspired and personally supervised by Joseph Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment of the Third Reich, who in turn was formally inspired by a trip he took in October 1939 through the occupied territories of Poland. Among other things, he visited Lodz's Jewish enclave in the Bałuty district, where he saw the immensity of Jewish poverty , recognizing that it was one of the good "locations" for the film. Hence, some of the shots are taken, from the later Lodz ghetto, which was established in the area and closed on April 30, 1940.

Excerpt from the flyer:"... The film begins with an impressive journey through the Jewish ghettos in Poland. It leads us to Jewish apartments that, in our opinion, can no longer be called apartments. In these dirty rooms live and pray a people who earn their living not by work, but by bargaining and swindling. From small "urchins" to old men, they stand in the streets and bargain. It is represented by clear cartoon images of how the Jewish racial mixture arose in Asia Minor and from there flooded all over the world. We see an amazing analogy in the migration paths of rats, who are parasites and carriers of poison among animals, just as the Jews are among humans. The Jew has always known how to adapt his appearance to his hosts. Juxtapositions of the same types of Jews, first as a Jew from the East in a kaftan, beard and ponytails, and then as a smooth-shaven Jew from Western Europe, provide striking evidence of the means he used to deceive the Aryan nations. Under this mask, he gained more and more influence in the nations of Aryan culture and reached higher and higher positions. But he could not change his inner being. Having broken the ban on Jews in Europe during the Age of Enlightenment, the Jew managed to dominate the world economically within a few decades before the host nations noticed, and despite being only 1% of the world's population. An excerpt from an American film about the "Rothschilds," made by Jews, shows us the sophisticated Jewish foundations and development of this banking house ..."
