Great Conductors of the Third Reich: Art in the Service of Evil

Movies
This production features actual newsreal footage — Hitler himself is caught weeping on camera — of concerts led by conductors Bצhm, Furtwהngler, Karajan, Knappertsbusch, and Krauss during the Third Reich. Determined to present an image of culture, the Nazis were known to turn their art into propaganda; conductors being no exception. Great Conductors of the Third Reich highlights some of the most blatant examples of art not in the face, but rather in the service of evil.
