'Vom Bumlein, das andere Bltter hat gewollt' ("Of the little tree which wished for different leaves") is a short anti-Semitic propaganda cartoon produced in 1940 in the Nazi movie studio Zeichenfilm GmbH.
The movie depicts a "golden tree" inhabited by little birds, whose leaves (all but one) are stolen by a caricature of a Jewish man: 'Aber wie es Abend ward, ging der Jude durch den Wald, er steckt sie ein, geht eilends fort und lsst das leere Bumlein dort...'"But when night fell, the Jew passed through the forest; he puts them in his bag and leaves quickly, leaving the little tree all alone..."
The cartoon is based on a poem by Friedrich Rckert of the same name. It was produced by Hubert Schonger and directed by Heinz Tischmeyer.
