In addition to socially critical and socio-historical films, educational films were a specialty of Eberhard Frowein in the 1920s, and films on topics of sexuality that were taboo to date, such as the two films Die Ehe (1929) and Fertility, produced by the Dutchman Theodoor Hendrik van de Velde (1930). His writing and directing work led to the time of National Socialism ultimately the film I Accuse (1941) , the acceptance of the Nazi eugenics and the killing so-called "life unworthy of life" in the Action T4 should create. The film already failed to have its effect in the Third Reich and is now a reserved film .
