Repugnante documental antisemita que alterna imágenes rodadas en la Polonia ocupada con diagramas animados y fotografía de personalidades judías del mundo de los negocios y la cultura, mostrando a los hebreos como una raza degenerada y diabólica, empeñada en dominar el mundo. Combina imágenes de archivo (foto fija, noticiarios, secuencias de películas de ficción) con tomas realizadas en la Polonia ocupada. En conjunto, se trata de un documento absolutamente revelador sobre el proyecto antisemita nazi, en el que unas espeluznantes imágenes del sacrificio de animales según la ley Kosher (mientras la voz en off denuncia que la crueldad sobre los animales es incompatible con la sensibilidad del pueblo alemán) dan paso a la brutal secuencia final, en la que se anuncia la destrucción de la raza judía en Europa.

Tres páginas de un Diario, estrenada en septiembre de 1929, fue la segunda versión cinematográfica de la novela "Diario de una Perdida" de Margarethe Bohme. Curiosamente, la primera fue interpretada en 1918 por Erna Morena, actriz que un año antes había protagonizado "Lulu", adaptación de la obra de Frank Wedekind que fue, también, el título que unió por vez primera al realizador alemán G.W.
