The Jew and the Aryan

Jøden og arieren

Danish documentary from 1997. »The Jew and the Aryan« documents how the Nazis used film as a medium for propaganda to convince the German populace that the Aryans were a superior people, while the Jews were a deadly enemy that had to be eradicated from Germany. »The Jew and the Aryan« goes behind the scenes of Leni Riefenstahl's »Olympia« and »Triumph of the Will«, which show Hitler as a divine leader. Clips from anti-Semitic films such as »Jud Süss« and »Der Ewige Jude« are also shown, portraying the Jewish as money-grubbing, lecherous and parasitic beings. Based on the book by Morten Brask and Siri Aronson.
