Harlan: In the Shadow of Jew Süss (2008)

Overview: Though almost forgotten today, Veit Harlan was one of Nazi Germany's most notorious filmmakers. His most perfidious film was the treacherous anti-Semitic propaganda film Jud Süß - required viewing for all SS members. This documentary is an eye-opening examination of World War II film history as well as the story of a German family from the Third Reich to the present; one that is marked by reckoning, denial and liberation.

Starring: Thomas Harlan, Maria Körber, Jan Harlan, Christiane Kubrick
