Wikipedia article




'Alles Leben ist Kampf' (English translation: 'All Life is Struggle') is a National Socialist propaganda film produced in 1937, directed by Herbert Gerdes, and W. Httig.

This film is about disabled people and the Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring, passed to stop disabilities affecting other generations through forced sterilization. At the same time, it called for hereditary healthy Germans to reproduce so as to avoid the death of their people. It was one of six propagandistic movies produced by the NSDAP, the 'Reichsleitung', 'Rassenpolitisches Amt' or the Office of Racial Policy from 19351937 to demonize people in Germany diagnosed with mental illness and mental retardation.

This movie is along the same lines as 'Erbkrank' (1936) which was similarly directed by Herbert Gerdes.
