In 2009/2010 a full-length documentary about Josef
Ganz and his influence on the Volkswagen Beetle will be produced aimed at an
international audience. The documentary will be based on the research and book
by Dutch journalist Paul Schilperoord. His book will first be published in the
Dutch language in September 2009 under the title Het
Ware Verhaal van de Kever: hoe Hitler het ontwerp van een Joods genie
confisqueerde.
More information and details about the
documentary will be published on this website as they become available.
