First film about Nazi antisemitism shown in the USA.

This is one of the first anti Nazi films shown in the USA & the first dealing with antisemitism. The plot and acting are very good,and I must say the message as well.There had been no films made up to that time in Hollywood dealing with antisemitism.Some may say because this film was made in the Soviet Union that its message is wrong or compare them to the Nazis. This is wrong ,the movies message is very progressive and cant be compared to the Nazis in any respect ,in fact its reactionary and lessens the evil of the Nazis to do so.The movie at the time of its release was hailed for its subject -antisemitism for the first time. In Hollywood they would not deal with the subject because of their foreign markets including Nazi Germany.
