Die gekreuzigt werden

The remains of Die gekreuzigt werden represent a significant piece of cinematic history, having been classified as a propaganda film against anti-Semitism. For many years, this film was presumed lost, but a screening copy was discovered by Filmarchiv Austria and underwent extensive restoration. The film follows the story of Ariel, who, due to his disinterest in the Talmud, becomes estranged from his religious family.

Despite achieving professional success and demonstrating social commitment to factory workers, Ariel's early rupture with his family casts a long shadow over his life. The film reflects the complexities of identity, faith, and societal expectations, making it a compelling study of the human experience during a turbulent time in history.
