Don't Be A Sucker - 1947 War Department Film
An American who has been listening to a racist rabble-rouser preaching hate speech against ethnic and religious minorities and immigrants, is warned off by a naturalized Hungarian immigrant (possibly a Holocaust survivor or escapee) . He explains to him how such rhetoric allowed the Nazis to rise to power in Weimar Germany, and warns Americans not to fall for similar demagogy (scare tactics) propagated by American racists and bigots.
