A Vintage German Hardcover Book (measures 5 1/2" x 7 3/4" [14 x 20 cm]; 615 pages) (Learn More) Jud Suss, the 1925 Lion Feuchtwanger German historical novel based on the life and execution of Jud Suss Oppenheimer in the 18th century (about a Jewish businessman sentenced to death under the anti-Jewish laws that existed in Germany in the 1700s. When the businessman discovers he is actually not Jewish by birth, he still allows himself to be executed, rather than turn his back on his people, and the entire book is a denouncement of anti-Semitism.) The book has been the source of many theater and film adaptations, including the notoriously anti-Semitic 1940 Veit Harlan German Nazi propaganda historical melodrama of the same title. When Joseph Goebbels ordered this movie to be remade he drastically changed the plot, making the businessman a despicable rapist who is definitely Jewish, and the crowds viewing his execution cheer the extermination of this monster. The movie shows the tremendous power of film to influence audiences, and was an important part of the Nazi plan to get the German people to accept the extermination of the entire Jewish population of Germany and the surrounding countries.
