The movie depicts a "golden tree" inhabited by little birds, whose leaves (all but one) are stolen by a caricature of a Jewish man: Aber wie es Abend ward, ging der Jude durch den Wald, er steckt sie ein, geht eilends fort und lässt das leere Bäumlein dort...[1]

The cartoon is based on a poem by Friedrich Rückert of the same name. It was produced by Hubert Schonger and directed by Heinz Tischmeyer.[2][3]

The poem

Rückert's poem begins,
Es ist ein Bäumlein gestanden im Wald
In gutem und schlechtem Wetter [4]

A little tree stood in the forest
In good and bad weather

gollark: I write in markdown and have a script compiling it to HTML, as well as some other things.
gollark: ... maybe?
gollark: But using a headless browser thing would be both harder *and* less efficient.
