produced and funded by the US War Dept. The film warns of dangerous, anti democratic propaganda, fascism, racism, discrimination and prejudice. A Hungarian refugee in America tells how Hitler and the Nazis rose to power by splitting unity to create "One Party, One Nation and One Religion." Under Nazi rule, people could only follow news from Dr. Goebbels Ministry of Propaganda and not sources like the BBC or New York Times.

While an extremist hatemonger preaches prejudice and division to an American crowd on a corner soap box, the Hungarian warns a young man not to be persuaded by his ideas or let this happen in the US. The age old strategy, Divide and Conquer, Divide and Rule.
Film narrated by actor Lloyd Nolan, the Hungarian professor portrayed by actor Paul Lukas.

The film short was re-released in 1947, and saw a revival in 2017 after the Charlottesville 'Unite the Right' Rally disaster.
