	MyJewishLearning.com - History & Community: Court Jews
		When Oppenheimer died in 1703, the Court of Vienna faced virtual bankruptcy, forAustrian finances were integrally tied in with Oppenheimer's.
		Suss was raised by his wealthyuncle, and was trained by him in the art of banking After becoming purveyor, factor, gem‑collector, and banker to Prince Karl Alexander of Wurttemberg, Suss exploited his opportunities with such acumen that he obtained virtually complete control of the financial administration of the duchy.
		Wurttemberg was a sovereignty of no small importance; and Suss, with his grip on the state economy, managed to become a major influence in Central Europe at a time when most of Europe's Jews were locked off within ghettos.

		Jud Suss was based in part on the career of Joseph Suss-Oppenheimer, who in fact had gained notoreity as a financial adviser to Duke Karl Alexander of Wilrttemberg from 1732 to 1737, but Goebbels's directives to Harlan made a mockery of poetic license.
		The Nazis' Suss not only cheated the state, but what was much worse he used his position to commit an unspeakable crime against the blood of the German--Volk-Rassenschande--by defiling a blonde, Aryan maiden played by Kristina Soderbaum.
		Soon the Jews would be but an "ugly memory." Although public mention of the "final solution" was avoided, every means short of an announcement of the mass liquidations were taken to prepare the nation psychologically for the fait accompli.

	Jew Süss (1934) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
		There is an odd plot twist, in which Oppenheimer learns that his biological father was a Gentile.
		Either his mother is a Gentile (not clear from the film) and the Jews would not consider him truly Jewish even if his father was the virtuous Jew Oppenheimer, or else she is a Jewess and our hero is thereby Jewish no matter who fathered him.
		The idea that he chooses to be a Jew feeds into the final scenes, and is relevant to Veidt's own life (apparently, though he was not Jewish at all, he insisted on stating that he was Jewish to the German authorities).

	Jew Suss Movie Review (1934) from Channel 4 Film
		The original adaptation of the novel by Léon Feuchtwanger about Joseph Suss-Oppenheimer, whose climb up the economic ladder buys him influence among Würtemberg's high society, and leads him to discover that he is not Jewish after all.
		Not to be confused with Nazi Germany's perverse adaptation of the same book in which Jew Suss, in addition to ruthlessly enriching himself also specializes in rape, this is an altogether different affair.
		With a convincing central performance from Veidt, it is more of an investigation of how nationality and race don't matter, but it is easy to see how the plot could be perverted in the wrong hands.

		A Jew seeks political power in order that he may use it to benefit the status of Jewry in an anti-Semitic order of society.
		By the time Süss succumbs to his conscience and enacts his vengeance on the Duke, the film's pro-Jewish message has been lost to a more straightforward revenge narrative.

		When it is discovered that Veidt is really not a Jew, he refuses to believe it, remaining faithful to his religion even as he is brought to be hanged.
		Production fails to give the atmosphere of the time it is depicting, with the direction hazily dealing with important aspects from the Feuchtwanger novel (titled Power in the US and Jew Suss in Britain).
		Nevertheless, at the time of its release the film acted as a parallel to the actual situation in Germany (also the original author's intent), and is quite powerful in this respect.
