Hitler's Hat

9.0 2003 | 47 min

A documentary about Richard Marowitz, a Jewish GI who found Hitler's top hat, crushed it, and took it home as a souvenir of war. For 50 years, Hitler’s hat fittingly sat buried at the bottom of Marowitz's magic trick closet. In 1996, Marowitz went public with his story and loaned the hat to the American Museum of Jewish military history.
