The Meaning of Hitler
Overview
Based on the book ‘THE MEANING OF HITLER' by Sebastian Haffner, this documentary explores the decades-long obsession with the infamous dictator and Nazi Leader Adolph Hitler. Juxtaposing three eras, Hitler's Third Reich in the 1930s, Haffner's 1970s words of warning that history may repeat itself and that of the modern day far-right extremists, the documentary probes how easily evil can rise to power at any point in time. Directed by Petra Epperlein and Michael Tucker.

Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"The author Martin Amis, who’s one of the most compelling people interviewed here, says that if you can expand our knowledge of Hitler by just a millimeter, you’ve done something." - 11/25/2020 Variety
"An intellectual inquiry with burning present-day resonance, THE MEANING OF HITLER is also a road trip through some of the darkest chapters of European history." - 11/21/2021 Hollywood Reporter
"Overall, the filmmakers’ freewheeling approach covers a fair amount of ground..." - 08/13/2021 RogerEbert.com
"[The film] seeks to understand the combination of personal pathology, political shrewdness and mass complicity that allowed Hitler to create the Nazi regime. It also finds disturbing 21st-century echoes." - 08/12/2021 New York Times
