| Description |
Discusses the making of, and German reaction to, the antisemitic propaganda film "Der ewige Jude" (1940), produced by Joseph Goebbels and directed by Fritz Hippler. Two versions of the film existed - one more brutal and the other more mild. "Der ewige Jude" was a commercial failure, indicating that antisemitism among the German population at large was not so strong as in Nazi ideology. Other causes for the failure of the film were the lack of viewer involvement, the unrelieved grimness of the subject, an unsuccessful strategy (it falls between fiction and newsreel), and the fact that it was screen-tested by uncritical colleagues. Pp. 55-67 contain appendices: a chronology of Nazi films, and the English translation of the film's narration. See the response by Ilan Avisar, "The Historical Significance of 'Der ewige Jude' (1940)" [in the "Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television" 13, 3 (1993) 363-365], in which he criticizes the authors' conclusion that the film was a failure, emphasizing that the film was a call for genocide, and calling for further critical analysis of the film's production, content, and reception.
