Le Péril juif

Nov 28, 1940
Le Juif éternel est une contribution à l’idéologie nazie. Il dépeint l’idée d’un complot international ourdi par les Juifs de l’Est (de nombreuses scènes ont été tournées en Pologne) et les Juifs de l’Ouest, dans la tradition des Protocoles des Sages de Sion. Il met tout en œuvre pour peindre les Juifs comme des sous-hommes et a pour but de montrer qu’ils sont un peuple auquel il faut s’opposer, dénonçant leur façon de vivre, leur histoire, leurs coutumes… Ainsi, le documentaire prétend dévoiler les véritables traits du « Juif éternel » d’après les nazis.
