i've read a few criticisms of the 31 dracula that claim its antisemitic as well (the medal the count wears bears a striking resemblance to the Star of David and the scene where Renfield talks about rats and the parting of the red mist is strikingly similar to the parting of the sea and the exodus) - - -now please let me be clear, I'm not saying Dracula is antisemitic, only that i've read some film critics arguing that. . .probably to the extent their is antisemitic imagery its more a product of that period (20-40s) when antisemitism was rampant (and not just in Germany)
