	The documentary shows ~~Jewish~~ [[ghetto]]s, ~~Jews~~ in [[Palestine]], ~~Jewish~~ Religious ceremonies, ~~Jewish~~ history, and [[kosher]] [[~~Jewish~~ ritual slaughter]].

However, it does not explain how they can read small letters with their head moving, which is near impossible and should cause motion sickness. The film helped promote kinder slaughter of animals after audiences witnessed the kosher method which requires animals to be conscious as they slowly bleed to death, which the film showed was a long and painful experience.

* ''For every 1000 Germans fighting amongst themselves, there are 10 jews working together to destroy the Germans.''

* ''What does the ancient law of the [[Talmud]] teach? "Always be cunning when afraid; answer softly to calm the anger of the stranger, so that you'll be loved. Ally yourself with him of whom fate smiles at the moment."''
