NSDAP (Nazi) German film on hereditary diseases opens by showing German boys and girls playing outside houses and children in the streets of Germany. Some of the children are dirty and poor, and living in meager tenement areas. Prior scene is then contrasted with exteriors of numerous hospitals and clinics with well kept grounds and facilities. Doctors and nurses in white uniforms stroll the grounds. A group of boy patients are shown in an outdoor area. Scene shifts to show a German farmer with a boy working on a farm. The boy watches geese. The farmers build a rock embankment beside water. A fishing boat on water and a German fisherman working with his nets. A German woman wrings out wet laundry. German workers in an office perform clerical work and typing. German laborers working hard and constructing new buildings. Construction scenes. A man planes a long piece of wood. Other workers lay stones, work on overhead wires, and work at a steel molting factory. German farmers harvest wheat and horses pull carts bearing harvest. A windmill turns. Scene shifts to outdoor grounds of an institution housing mentally and physically handicapped German boys, girls, women, and men. Disparaging views of various mentally disabled and physically disabled men, women, boys, and girls are shown. Some are physically deformed patients, others are insane patients, or violent patients in strait jackets. Jewish patients are separately identified, shown, and disparaged (seeds of anti-Jewish sentiment and the holocaust to come). Nurses and doctors seen observing and working with patients. Patients eat, many exhibiting difficulty eating. Some patients are spoon fed. Others are fed by nasal tube. The scenes shown appear designed to show the patients in the most denigrating way. Diagrams depict mental illness transmitting through defective genes (part of theories espoused by Nazi Germany in support of its eugenics programs, sterilization, and euthanasia programs such as Aktion T4, before and during World War 2).
