The Eternal Jew as the failed continuation of Jew Suess

Both, Jew Suess and the Eternal Jew, are pieces of open Nazi propaganda against Jews but the way the movies are made could not be more different: the Eternal Jew is presented as a “documentary” (even though most of the “facts” Fritz Hippler presents are simply made up) whereas Jew Suess is in a way a tragic love story - a topic that is even today very common in most Hollywood productions. Thus it is understandable that the Jew Suess was a great success back in the Germany of 1940 whereas the Eternal Jew was not: people also wanted to be entertained and not to be just fed with information.

But if one thinks about the fact that the eternal Jew was released after Jew Suess being a huge success one could get the impression that the Nazis tried to take propaganda against the Jews a little bit further. Jew Suess ends “just” with the banishment of the Jews to keep the German blood pure and the execution of a single Jew. As we haven’t watched the end of the Eternal Jew until now I don’t know how Hippler tries to solve the Jewish “problem” but from what we have seen so far I could imagine that he suggests much harsher measures: from it being right to put Jews into working camps to the total extinction of the Jewish race.
