Description:
Archiv-DVD's newest release, "Jud Suss: Holocaust Studies Series" is the definitive Holocaust collection which features the uncut version of Veit Harlan's vicious anti-Semitic costume epic.
This is perhaps the only motion picture produced during the Third Reich which encompasses the true anti-Semitic ideology expounded under National Socialism. This single film was the cornerstone and exponent of the pre-launching of the official campaign against the Jews of Germany and then Nazi Occupied Europe from 1940 onwards.
This film was as well heavily screened in European areas prior to any official anti-Jewish aktion against the local population. It was also heavily screened to SS guards and camp personnel at all the Nazi concen-tration/extermination camps. And it is certainly no surprise to anyone that this film was entered into as evidence for the prosecution at the International Military Tribunal (The Nuermberg Trails) during 1945-1946.
Its director was tried twice for "Crimes against Humanity" for creating the film and acquitted twice. It was agreed that the original negative be destroyed following the trial. This never happened. It is no suprise as well that this film is still banned by the German government to this day as an official law exists banning this specific film.
