The Eternal Jew is a Nazi propaganda film designed to promote anti-Semitism and reinforce exclusionary hierarchies. Rather than providing representation, the film uses pseudo-scientific montage to dehumanize Jewish people, framing them as an existential threat to European civilization. The work functions as a tool for state-sponsored persecution, utilizing harmful stereotypes and biological metaphors to justify violence. It actively seeks to dismantle the concept of human ability to act and multicultural coexistence. Ultimately, the film represents the total rejection of human rights and progressive values, serving as a historical example of media used to facilitate ethnic erasure.

Gender is used primarily to categorize characters biologically rather than for character development. The film reinforces rigid social hierarchies and lacks any challenge to patriarchal norms.
This work is a foundational document of racialized antagonism. It uses dehumanizing symbols and montage techniques to equate an ethnic group with vermin and disease.
The narrative promotes extreme nationalism and portrays religious practices as inherently conspiratorial. It frames the destruction of a culture as a necessary act of national preservation.
The film employs imagery of illness and biological impurity as a metaphor for the targeted group. It uses the concept of the diseased body to justify systemic exclusion.

Official Synopsis
A Nazi propaganda film made to promote anti-Semitism among the German people. Newly-shot footage of Jewish neighborhoods in recently-conquered Poland is combined with preexisting film clips and stills to defame the religion and advance Hitler's slurs that its adherents were plotting to undermine European civilization.
