A scene from the movie 'The Eternal Jew' - a Real-photo postcard. 1930s

A Real-photo postcard of the synagogue scene from the film "The Eternal Jew", captured and photographed by the Nazi propaganda leaders in the Polish ghettos immediately after the Nazi occupation in 1939.

The film "The Eternal Jew, " which Hitler and Goebbels personally directed, was of crucial importance in the Nazi anti-Semitic incitement. The film is intended to remove the so-called disguise from the face of the Jew and present him as the most deadly enemy of the Reich. The film, shot in the ghettos of Poland by the photographers of the propaganda company PK689, presented the 'authentic Jew in his natural environment' - the filth, misery, ugliness, comparison with rats spreading plagues, cunning, greed, laziness inherent in the Jew and xenophobia were presented to the enlightened German viewer as a 'documentary film' that allegedly documents 'The Truth About the Jews'.

The recurring motif in the film was the complete identity of the Jewish subhuman from the Polish ghettos with the Jews of Germany known to the viewer under the guise of a 'civilized German'. At the beginning of the film, the announcer sounds a warning: "The civilized Jew known to us in Germany gives us a little from the character of his race. This film presents true photographs of the Polish ghettos. He shows the Jews as they really are, before they manage to hide behind the mask of the civilized European".
