Anti-Semitic German Nazi propaganda film from 1940, which was intended to stir up hatred of Jews among the German population. The title is a defamatory reference to the life of Joseph Süß Oppenheimer, who was executed in Stuttgart in 1738. The main character is an unscrupulous Jewish tax official who rapes a Christian woman.
Further Information
The film from the National Socialist era is considered a so-called reserved film and may only be shown in Germany with the permission of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau Foundation with scientific accompaniment and an introductory lecture as part of educational events due to its inciting character.
