Es leuchten die Sterne ("The Stars are Shining") is an anti-Semitic Nazi propaganda film that mixes animation and live action footage. The film is two minutes and fifteen seconds long. The film starts out showing a girl looking through a telescope watching a comet fly through space. When the comet hits the Earth the picture dissolves into a map of Germany with the Star of David and Jewish caricatures superimposed on it, then switches to live action footage, apparently from Der ewige Jude. What follows then is a series of short segments in which the "flying Jews" fly through and, implicitly, corrupt various aspects of German life: the theatre, a bank, art, industry, alternating with line drawn Jewish caricatures and live action footage. The cartoon vividly illustrates the Nazi attitude toward the Jews as "pests" who were ruining the German culture and economy. |
