Veit Harlan, though nearly forgotten today, was a prominent filmmaker in Nazi Germany. His most infamous work was the deeply anti-Semitic propaganda film "Jud Süß," obligatory viewing for SS members. This documentary not only unveils the history of World War II cinema but also follows the narrative of a German family across generations — from the Third Reich to the present day. Their story involves facing truths, evasion, and eventual liberation.
