Jeffrey Lurie\'s production company has announced a new documentary titled \'The meaning of Hitler.\'
\'The Meaning of Hitler\' uses the title of the bestselling book from 1978 to put a spotlight on our culture’s fascination with Hitler and Nazism as white supremacy has been on the rise again.
The announcement of the documentary comes days after DeSean Jackson posted anti-Semitic quotes attributed to Adolf Hitler on social media.
The documentary features interviews and insight from historians and writers including Deborah Lipstadt, Martin Amis, Sir Richard Evans, Saul Friedlander, Yehuda Bauer, and famed Nazi hunters Beate and Serge Klarsfeld.
“We couldn’t be prouder that The Meaning of Hitler is the first completed film made by our new documentary production company, Play/Action Pictures,” said Lurie, who served as executive producer of the Oscar-winning docu Inside Job. “I envisioned Play/Action to be a leading creative force for films that engage with the most crucial and challenging issues of our time. The rise of white supremacy and neo-fascism in the United States and the world over are among the most important and serious threats we face today.”
