Arts.21 # The Burden of Heritage – Documentary Film 'Harlan – In the Shadow of Jud Suess' # 30.05.2009

Those who hear the name Veit Harlan think of "Jud Suess," the infamous anti-Semitic propaganda film. Veit Harlan was Germany’s most successful director during the Nazi regime and a favorite of Goebbels and Hitler. From 1945 onward, his name became a curse for the whole family. Felix Moeller’s documentary film, "Harlan – In the Shadow of Jud Suess", explains what it all meant for the Harlan heirs.
