Clips from amateur films by Walter Nitsche and Lafayette P. Monson, spring/summer 1938
Amateur filmmakers document anti-Jewish propaganda and riots in Vienna in the months following the Third Reich’s annexation of Austria. In addition to images of property that has been vandalized or subjected to “wild aryanization,” these films also contain brief sequences of a “scrubbing parties” in which Jews are forced to clean the streets of graffiti supporting the cancelled referendum on Austria’s independence, as amused onlookers stand by.
