The Nosferatu vampire is especially portrayed as vermin, and some scholars believe this was subtle propaganda towards viewing Jewish people as "less than human" - and rationalizing their extermination. All in all - a very dark (and important) episode.Do you think Nosferatu is anti-Semitic?Why is dehumanization so dangerous?In which story does Edgar Allan Poe write about rats?What are some of the reasons that pre-Hitler Germany was in turmoil?Why is it highly unlikely that F.W.
