The Eternal Jew is a 1940 German antisemitic Nazi propaganda film, presented as a documentary. The initial German title was Der ewige Jude, the German term for the character of the "Wandering Jew" in medieval folklore. Directed by Fritz Hippler at the insistence of the Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, the screenplay is credited to Eberhard Taubert and narrated by Harry Giese; it consists of feature and documentary footage combined with materials filmed shortly after the Nazi occupation of Poland. At this time, Poland's Jewish population was about three million, roughly ten percent of the total population.
