Jew Süss (1940) directed by Veit Harlan

Jud Süß (Jew Süss)

The movie was directed by Veit Harlan, who wrote the screenplay with Eberhard Wolfgang Möller and Ludwig Metzger, and starred Ferdinand Marian and Harlan's wife Kristina Söderbaum. It is partially based on the 1925 historical novel Jud Süß by Lion Feuchtwanger as well as the 1827 novella by Wilhelm Hauff. The film, the novel, and the novella do not correspond to the historic sources regarding Joseph Süß Oppenheimer as still accessible at the Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg.

Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, who had commissioned the film, was very pleased with it, and appeared sitting next to the director Harlan at the premiere in the UFA Palast in Berlin. Heinrich Himmler ordered the members of the SS and police to watch the movie. It became a great success in Germany, with some 20 million viewers.

Great film, I can see why Goebbels liked it. The task today will be much much harder since the Jewish grip has a hold of many countries.

Every time the heat is turned up you'll notice that some holocaust related story is spread throughout the western media. Two recent being the Rosenberg diary and the alleged Nazi commander found living in the US. These are supposed to yank us all back in line and remember how the Jews say they suffered. Sad but true it will work on the masses.
