The Meaning of Hitler

USA 2020 | 93 minutes | English, German | Hebrew, English subtitles

Using the eponymous 1978 bestseller by Sebastian Haffner as its frame, The Meaning of Hitler is a provocative interrogation of our culture’s fascination with Hitler and Nazism set against the backdrop of the current rise of white supremacy, the normalization of antisemitism, and the weaponization of history. The film traces Hitler’s rise to power as historians and writers, including Deborah Lipstadt, Martin Amis, Sir Richard Evans, Saul Friedlander, Yehuda Bauer, and famed Nazi hunters Beate and Serge Klarsfeld, weigh in on the lasting impact of his virulent ideology.
