Apropos to the current state of affairs, in America, white supremacy went to the greatest of extremes, in Austria, as a precursor to WWII (doing so while Hitler was in Jail, writing his hateful book).

From the BBC article

Watching it now, the film's scenes of the expulsion are some of the most haunting and prescient.

The city's Jews are told to leave by Christmas Day. Some of the poorer people leave on foot, accompanied by soldiers with bayonets. Whole communities walk slowly through the snow, some on crutches, some carrying Torah scrolls from the synagogues.

A silent film from 1924 predicting the rise of Nazism was found in a Paris flea market in 2015 after being lost for decades. Thanks to a huge fundraising campaign, it has now been restored and returned to cinemas, reports the BBC's Bethany Bell in Vienna.

Crowds gathered, in Austria, en mass, supporting the anti-Jew sentiment.
