Jud Suss

Jud Suss (translated: "The Jew Seuss") is a 1940 German film based on the life of German-Jewish financier Joseph Oppenheimer. The film, directed by Veit Harlan under supervision from Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, is an infamous example of the era's anti-Semitic propaganda.http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1097636.html

John Ubele is running for a House seat in Pasco County, Florida. Though he denies being a white supremacist, Ubele is endorsed by "pro-white" politician and activist David Duke and has admitted to sending Governor Charlie Crist a copy of the DVD Jud Suss in the hopes that it would "awaken our people."http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20090724/BLOG29/907249953/-1/NEWSSITEMAP He posted a thank you letter from Crist for the DVD on his website.

Crist has since written to Ubele asking him to remove the letter from the website. He has also condemned Jud Suss as Nazi propaganda filled with "crude, anti-Semitic stereotypes."http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20090724/BLOG29/907249953/-1/NEWSSITEMAP
