"We couldn't be prouder that 'The Meaning of Hitler' is the first completed film made by our new documentary production company, Play/Action Pictures," Lurie said in a statement. "I envisioned Play/Action to be a leading creative force for films that engage with the most crucial and challenging issues of our time.

(4,572 posts)The announcement comes as Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson has received widespread condemnation for his social media posts, including an anti-Semitic message that he attributed to Adolf Hitler.

Jackson expressed a desire to educate himself and to work directly with the Jewish community, and his camp contacted the rabbi at Chabad Young Philly a short time later to discuss ways for Jackson to donate to and work with the organization.
