JUD SUSS: HOLOCAUST STUDIES SERIES DVD MOVIE 2008
Unquestionably the most notorious film produced during the Third Reich, "Jud Suss" (Jew Suss) is being presented as an understanding of the tragic outcome of the Nazi Holocaust. Veit Harlan's vicious anti-Semitic costume epic was ordered by Goebbels in 1938 and produced by the leading director. In November 1940, Reich SS leader Heinrich Himmler ordered that the entire SS and uniformed police should view the film prior to the coming Winter. This film collection includes a state-of-the-art digital transfer from an original 35mm print supplied courtesy of the National Archives (supplied from an original fine grain master print). The film has been newly translated and subtitled into English. Also included are BONUS FEATURES from several documentaries including "Der Fuehrer schenkt den Juden eine Stadt" (1944), "Death Mills" (1945), "Nuremberg and their Lies" (1946) as well as countless rare film excerpts from original German and French films from the time. Also included is the original theatrical program, trailers (previews), a still pictures gallery, original production credits and a link to an historical essay entitled "Jud Suss and the Holocaust" by German film historian, David Calvert Smith.
Military History Films is presenting this rare collection as an understanding of the ideological causes behind the Nazi Holocaust and does not endorse nor support the racial hatred originally designed by its Nazi producers.
