Einstein as a unique villain to Nazi Germany

by CaesarISaGod

Albert Einstein was a jew that left Germany to work with Germany’s enemies. I also believe he had pacifist and socialist tendencies. Did the Nazis at any point try to use him personally as propaganda as an example of Jews betraying Germany? Or were they determined to make the Jews as faceless and nameless and inhuman as possible?

Yes, in the infamous propaganda film "The Eternal Jew", Einstein is characterized as follows:

" The relativity-Jew [Relativitätsjude] Einstein, who concealed his hatred of Germany behind an obscure pseudo-science."

Here are academic presentations that analyze this film:

Here are the frames and narration excerpts from the film on a Holocaust history website, including the one with Einstein:

This can be taken to be the standard official presentation of Einstein in the Nazi Germany.

The moniker "relativity-Jew" seems to have stuck, as it is seen used in the Stürmer in 1941.

In this article he is criticized for allegedly extolling the virtues of the Old Testament (the Stormer author then goes on to criticize the "Jewish" Old Testament and the "Jewish" biblical morals).
