(The Eternal Jew)
The Eternal Jew was produced to enhance anti-jewish sentiment and became required viewing (along with Jude Suss) for all Nazi staff by order of Adolf Hitler.
 
The film degrades the Jewish community through a statement by Richard Wagner (the German composer who wrote the music that fueled Hitler's desire for an 'Aryan' race: "The Jew is the (force) behind the corruption of mankind". The film further attacks Jews by comparing them to rats: "(Rats) are cunning, cowardly, and cruel and usually appear in massive hordes. They represent the elements of sneakiness and subterranean destruction among animals as Jews do among mankind."
 
The film finishes by showing loyal nazi youth and military screaming and marching for the Reich.
