[edit] wondering about wandering

Is someone a fan of Gustave Doré? However, the word "ewig" and all of its forms quite unambiguously mean "eternal". Other translations / synonyms any you can find on dict.leo.org or in a Thesaurus are e.g. deathless, everlasting, forever, imperishably, perennial, perpetual. Clearly not "wandering". This should be deleted. 87.78.149.190 11:01, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

The link going from "Wandering Jew" explains the figure of Christian folklore, who is called "Ewiger Jude" in german. That is why the title is ambigious - maybe you can find a way to make it clearer in the text. -01:20, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Purpose to inform about dangers of annexed population?

I removed the following text from the article:

The film consists of feature and documentary footage combined with new materials filmed shortly after the Nazi occupation of Poland, which then had a Jewish population of about 3 million (roughly 10 percent of the total population). The purpose of the film was to explain to the German public the danger posed by this new population, which had come under the control of the Reich.

I don't see why the Germans would have had to be warned of a population that had such limited rights of travel - putting it euphemistically. Also the focus of the movie is clearly not the jews in occupied countries, but Jewish cultural influence, prominent jews, rich jews and travelling businessmen. - Ados 01:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Socialism

The article says this: "Many things that run contrary to Nazi doctrine are associated with Jewish influence, such as modern art, (cultural) relativism, anarchic and socialist movements, as well as sexual liberation."

The Nazi party was the German socialist workers party. Why would the Nazis put socialism as a bad thing when they are self-proclaimed socialists?

They were the National Socialist party, which is totaly different, Nationalism and Socialism are in fact totaly imcompatable, as Socialism is internationalist.

Actual socialism, as in Marxism was in fact the biggest enemy of the nazis, from the start their, prime objective being to defeat the German Communist party. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.30.174 (talk) 17:13, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I understand that, but my problem is that Hitler was really for a type of socialism. Not Marxism or communism (who were victims of his.) Wouldn't it be more accurate to change that to Marxist movements or Communist movements? Socialism is a pretty broad brush, and Hitler was specifically against communism. Some aspects of socialism he found to be great stuff. DeviantCharles (talk) 10:48, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
