I just tried to reference this stub in a comment in a discussion forum on another site.  I tried twice and failed twice.  The first time, the space and parentheses were (somehow incorrectly) auto-converted to html codes.  The second time I typed the link literally, but the other site's auto link formatter did not understand the trailing parenthesis as part of the link.  
While each of these issues can be blamed on other client or server software's shortcomings, these are not uncommon shortcomings and therefore I believe there should be tighter guidelines about how a topic or stub may be titled.

Was wondering if this movie +70 years ago is now out of copyright in Europe?

Today we'd call that PR or a documentary. That "cleaning up", before shots are taken isn't abnormal neither. Visit any company or school to shoot a documentary and they'll clean it up before your arrival. Btw. There is even footage about shooting the movie: https://archive.org/details/DreharbeitenInTheresienstadt  --105.6.123.246 (talk) 16:23, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
It doesn't make much sense to pigeonhole this film as propaganda, because it was not made by Goebbels' Ministry of Propaganda and Enlightenment, and it was never shown to the public. It was neither made as propaganda, nor used as propaganda. It seems to have been made just to be viewed by some people in the government.
In that light, the accusation that the film is misleading becomes problematic. Was it supposed to mislead people in the government? 
If the film was made to inform people in the government, then it was not supposed to be deceptive. Note that there was a similar film about the Warsaw Ghetto (also never shown to the public) that did not present a pretty picture; it documented the occurrence of a typhus epidemic in the Ghetto. There was no reason why this film about Theresienstadt should not have shown the warts if there were significant warts to show. Your Buddy Fred Lewis (talk) 08:54, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
