Abstract
Anti-Semitism was not only one of the central political aspects of National Socialism, but it was also central to its propaganda. This presentation will focus mainly on how Anti-Semitism was presented in German newsreels between 1933 and 1942, but referring also to selected corresponding examples of movie production of that time to give an understanding of the orchestrated propaganda in cinema programmes of that time - as well as discussing this as an universal topic. This research is supported by the German National Film Archive (BA-FA), which provided the material to be shown.
