This film was created as request of Joseph Goebbels, the incisive and meticulous Nazi propaganda minister, it was directed by Fritz Hippler and produced by the DFG (German Research Foundation), an institution created by Hitler in 1937. Der Ewige Jude tittle comes from a legend that talks about a Jew who taunted Jesus on the way to the crucifixion. In 1934 another film with the same title was made in Britain, with a completely different purpose, where the Jews were shown as innocent persecuted throughout
