Talk:The Eternal Jew (film)

message: Is someone a fan of Gustave Doré? However, the word "ewig" and all of its forms quite unambiguously mean "eternal". Other translations / synonyms any you can find on dict.leo.org or in a Thesaurus are e.g. deathless, everlasting, forever, imperishably, perennial, perpetual. Clearly not "wandering". This should be deleted. 87.78.149.190 11:01, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The link going from "Wandering Jew" explains the figure of Christian folklore, who is called "Ewiger Jude" in german. That is why the title is ambigious - maybe you can find a way to make it clearer in the text. -01:20, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  wondering about wandering 

message: I removed the following text from the article:
:The film consists of feature and documentary footage combined with new materials filmed shortly after the Nazi occupation of Poland, which then had a Jewish population of about 3 million (roughly 10 percent of the total population). The purpose of the film was to explain to the German public the danger posed by this new population, which had come under the control of the Reich.
I don't see why the Germans would have had to be warned of a population that had such limited rights of travel - putting it euphemistically. Also the focus of the movie is clearly not the jews in occupied countries, but Jewish cultural influence, prominent jews, rich jews and travelling businessmen. - Ados 01:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  jewry 

message: The article says this: "Many things that run contrary to Nazi doctrine are associated with Jewish influence, such as modern art, (cultural) relativism, anarchic and socialist movements, as well as sexual liberation."
The Nazi party was the German socialist workers party.  Why would the Nazis put socialism as a bad thing when they are self-proclaimed socialists?
They were the National Socialist party, which is totaly different, Nationalism and Socialism are in fact totaly imcompatable, as Socialism is internationalist.  
Actual socialism, as in Marxism was in fact the biggest enemy of the nazis, from the start their, prime objective being to defeat the German Communist party.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.30.174 (talk) 17:13, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Socialism 

message: I'm deeply worried on the way this article has been worded, particularly in the plotsection. I don't know how useful it would be to explain the whole plot bit bit for an encyclopedia article. Other articles in Wikipedia doesn't follow this format.
The way this section is worded, it is simply echoing the propaganda of the movie. It should at least explain the fallacies within some arguments (e.g.: anedoctal numbers linking judaism to criminality) but this section should nevertheless be shortened as it is not very encyclopedic.
I am not suggesting some sort of censorship about the nature of the movie in question, but I think that a link to a copy of the video on Youtube or some similar site would be better and more compatible with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  --Pinnecco (talk) 01:07, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the wording of the article is fine. This is about the film itself, not fallacies or Nazi propaganda (other than this one film) There are other places for those arguments. Maybe links at the end, so no one misinterprets this article as being FOR what the Nazi's wanted. I studied Nazi propaganda and wrote papers on it, and I never "converted" to hating Jews. Just reading an article about a film wont convert anyone to Nazism overnight.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.49.126 (talk) 09:02, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wording on the Article 

message: I've seen the film only in a version originally released by the US (perhaps the War Dept.) that was abbreviated and that English narration.  Perhaps this should be mentioned, although I can't locate a citation to this version.
More importantly, the film actually contains a lot of interesting documentary evidence of Jewish practices, such as the scene of praying in the synagogue (which doesn't look or sound as if it were staged).  As awful as the film is, perhaps someone could gently mention this aspect of the film. -- kosboot (talk) 19:34, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Versions & documentary value 

message: The film portrays the Torah, the five books of Moses, as containing the central belief of the Jews, and shows them reading the Torah in the Synagogue, subtitled with "quotations" from some of the "books".  Apparently, only a trained eye can realize that the quotations were made-up verses from made-up books - and not actual quotations from the five books of the Jewish Torah - (i.e. not from Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy)Jimhoward72 (talk) 17:44, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: The Scene of Praying/Torah reading in the Synagogue

message: By some oversight, this article doesn't mention anything about Yiddish.  Yiddish is relevant to this movie in two ways.  First, while the article says the movie is a German language movie, the actual footage of Jews talking, and some of the scenes from the Jewish movies (the Purim scene, for example - it was from a Yiddish movie made in Poland), are in Yiddish.  Second, Yiddish is mentioned specifically in the movie, as being part of an underground criminal language which Jews use and spread (see Rotwelsch, for related).Jimhoward72 (talk) 15:48, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Why is Henry Ford listed in the See Also section? He is not mentioned in the article, nor is this film mentioned on the page about Henry Ford. 118.209.95.113 (talk) 10:25, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

message: WARNING: Those sites would be forbidden if they were on a German Server (Volksverhetzung). The material there is presented in a fascistic context.

replies: text: Deleted the external links. Even though Wikipedia has a strict anti-censorship policy, the links were unavailable. (Also, it should be pretty clear from the article that the links were to Nazi propaganda, not sure how anyone could misjudge that one...) – Zumoarirodoka (talk) 19:39, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Downloadsite 

message: Not sure if this is a chicken or the egg argument, but this article currently states:
Charlie Chaplin was also included in this sequence and inaccurately identified as Jewish, possibly as a consequence of his role as the Jewish barber in The Great Dictator.
Whereas, over at the Charlie Chaplin article, they claim:
The Nazi Party believed that [Chaplin] was Jewish and banned The Gold Rush on this basis. Chaplin responded by playing a Jew in The Great Dictator and announced, "I did this film for the Jews of the world."
: UPDATE: I've also brought this issue up on the "Charlie Chaplin" talkpage, to see if that clarifies anything. – Zumoarirodoka (talk) 21:54, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
