He eventually persuades the Duke to repeal the law prohibiting Jews from living in Wurttemberg, and many Jews then move into the city.Īfter an angry (German) man attacks Oppenheimer's coach with a hammer, Oppenheimer persuades the Duke to give him the authority to do anything he deems necessary in the Duke's name, and to do so with the Duke's full protection. Oppenheimer also assists the Duke in procuring women when the duchess is not around. Oppenheimer is also given the authority to levy taxes on salt, beer, wine and wheat-with the same result. The resulting tolls cause the price of food and other essentials to go up, and so the (German) people of Wurttemberg suffer, but the result is also great wealth for Oppenheimer and a steady stream of income for the Duke.

A percentage of the proceeds will go directly to the Duke's privy purse and thereby free the Duke from the financial limits imposed by the counsel. Oppenheimer then skilfully plays on the Duke's honor and greed by saying that if the Duke is going to honor this debt to a Jew all he wants in 'payment' is the authority to maintain the roads and bridges of the dukedom for 10 years-and the right to levy tolls for their use and upkeep. The Duke eventually discovers that he owes Oppenheimer 350,000 Thalers (evidently a tremendous amount of money). When Oppenheimer learns that the Duke wants to have a court orchestra and a court ballet troupe, and that the Wurttemberg council refuses to pay for them, he provides the financing for them as well. The Duke is delighted with the jewelry, and Oppenheimer defers payment, saying that it is his honor to help the Duke. Oppenheimer cuts his hair and shaves his beard, and in 'Christian' clothes goes to Wurttemberg. The law prohibits Jews from entering Wurttemberg, but the Duke provides Oppenheimer with a pass that grants him entry.

However, to do so he must be allowed to bring the items to Wurttemberg.

Oppenheimer shows the go-between a cabinet full of jewels and jewelry-items that are obviously beyond the Duke's means-and then says that it would be his honor to provide the Duke with jewelry at a substantial discount. Unfortunately, the duke does not have sufficient funds to buy coronation gifts for the duchess (Hilde von Stolz), and so he sends a loyal retainer to Frankfurt to borrow money from Oppenheimer. The Nazi version of the story begins with the coronation of Karl Alexander, Duke of Württemberg (Heinrich George), a man much beloved by his people, who swears an oath to obey the laws of the dukedom. Jewish extras were 'recruited' (coerced into performing) in Prague (the capital of the German occupied Bohemia-Moravia) and the scenes showing the entry of the Jews into Württemberg and worshipping in a synagogue were filmed there. There was also a scene that purported to show Jewish religious services. The best example of this is Marian's co-star Werner Krauss who played the two other major Jewish characters, Rabbi Loew and his secretary Levy. With the exception of Marian-who shaved off his beard, cut his hair and wore 'Christian' attire for most of the story-the actors playing male Jewish characters were made up to look unappealing and alien (non-German) to German audiences.

The movie played on basic Nazi stereotypes of Jews having hooked noses and being materialistic, immoral, cunning, untrustworthy and physically unattractive. Neither the film, nor the novel nor the novella correspond to the historic sources regarding Joseph Süß Oppenheimer as still accessible at the Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg.
