Hitler’s Big Fear: The Trial Against Degenerate Art

This documentary investigates Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime’s ideological crusade to censor, confiscate, and destroy modern art deemed “Degenerate” (Entartete Kunst). Centered around the infamous 1937 Munich exhibition designed to publicly ridicule avant-garde masterpieces by artists like Picasso, Chagall, Kandinsky, Klee, and Munch, the film exposes the regime’s deep paranoia toward artistic freedom and independent thought. The narrative uncovers the systematic looting of Jewish art collections and European museums, offering a chilling look at how totalitarian regimes attempt to control culture, memory, and creative expression.
