    Nazi propaganda film about people with disabilities: closeups

    Overview

    Description
    Reel 1 of 8: Line of people with disabilities, with nuns (nurses?) walking up to and past camera. Archway, grass. Dressed in ordinary clothes and aprons; dignified. Some in wheelchairs. One with large head. CU of man with large frontal lobe. 00:01:57 Man runs up to camera, limbs askew. Make him smile, toothless. Blows on little tin horn. CU, turns this way and that. 00:02:46 Happy woman, clapping and laughing. 00:03:08 Young woman in leather armchair outside. Maybe paranoid schizophrenic. Gesturing, dramatic faces. Clearly dealing with fantasy fears. 00:03:49 Doctor with woman, puts her into statue positions. She doesn't move (has long braid). 00:04:20 CU, nurse with young man, moving head. Another, female in wheelchair, hands deformed. Pan down to deformed legs and feet.

    Film Provenance
    The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum purchased this from the Bundesarchiv in Berlin, Germany in January 2001 for possible use in the Museum's special exhibition "Deadly Medicine.".
    Note
    See Stories 3274 through 3281 on Film ID 2502A for entire film "Dasein ohne Leben."

    See Michael Burleigh, "Death & Deliverance," pp.197-200. Says film was probably completed during 1941, "as it was shown, along with the raw material [Hermann] Schweninger had shot, grouped now along rough thematic lines, to a select audience on 10 May 1942." Reports that the film has vanished, but he discovered 8 "of the 23 rolls Schweninger shot for these films, complete with soundtracks,... in 1989-1990... in Potsdam."
