Unfortunately a movie like this had to be made because of the anti-Semitism of the time. I heard that Darrell Zanuck the head of 20th Century Fox motion picture applied to be a member of a Los Angeles Country club and was denied because they thought he was Jewish even though he wasn't. That's what motivated the making of this film it wasn't done to preach rather it was done to reveal
Yes, America is a horrible, hypocritical country, isn't she? As we all know, hypocrisy and prejudice are endemic and exclusive to her - unlike, say, pristine Europe, where they had things like the Holocaust.
The problem is that the USA set itself up as the "greatest country ever", make your fortune, land of opportunity, and the rest of the mythos/crapola. It's every bit as oppressive as Europe was/is. The great IRONY of the invasion of the New World by people from Europe is that what they came here to escape they then re-created. Domination, hierarchy, slavery, genocide, and standing on the bodies of of an institutionalized permanent under class. It's still going on.
