A Brief Comparison Of Japanese Relocation And The Eternal Jew

Both filmmakers for the Japanese Relocation and The Eternal Jew had similar intentions for their films but used different approaches. They are both World War II propaganda documentary films and both director's intention was to educate their audience about what was happening in their country during the war. The Japanese Relocation film's intention was to inform people about the Japanese-American communities. The Eternal Jew's intention was also to inform people about how even the Jews were.
