The Fuhrer Myth

An essay by Stig Hornshøj-Møller on how the source-critical analysis of the film "The Eternal Jew" was performed; what we learn by taking it as a source document on the decision-making process that led to the Holocaust.


he book of the Fuehrer-Myth has now sold more than 10,000 copies in Denmark, and there are negotiations going on concerning translations into English and into German. For the moment, though, there exists only a short description and a few key chapters of the book in English. We're pleased to present that material here.

Der ewige Jude ("The Eternal Jew")

Der ewige Jude ("The Eternal Jew") is the most famous Nazi propaganda film. It was produced at the insistence of Joseph Goebbels, under such active supervision that it is effectively his work. It depicts the Jews of Poland as corrupt, filthy, lazy, ugly, and perverse: they are an alien people which have taken over the world through their control of banking and commerce, yet which still live like animals.


Dr. Stig Hornshøj-Møller (Danish mag. art.) has been studying the film The Eternal Jew since 1970. He is the author of Der ewige Jude: Quellenkritische Analyse eines antisemitischen Propagandafilms ("Source-Critical Analysis of an Antisemitic Propaganda Film"), Institut für den Wissenschaftlichen Film, Göttingen, 1995. (This work is also available in a special free printing, which interested readers can order from the Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung, Postfach 1369, 53111 Bonn.).  he has an essay on the topic at the Holocaust History Project Website:
