Wikipedia article




'Harlan In the Shadow of Jew Sss' (German: 'Harlan Im Schatten von Jud S') is a 2008 documentary film by German director Felix Moeller about one of the most notorious Nazi German filmmakers, Veit Harlan and his family. It focuses on the "wildly varying attitudes of Harlan's children and grandchildren", and how they struggle even today with the legacy of their ancestor's work.

The documentary also explores Harlan's motivations for making 'Jew Sss', a film that 'The New York Times' has called "perhaps the most notorious anti-Semitic movie ever made". Harlan was the only artist from the Nazi era to be charged with war crimes.

The film uses "never-before-seen archival footage, unearthed film excerpts, rare home movies and new interviews".

It is distributed in the U.S. by Zeitgeist Films in 2010.
