Description
New historical insights into one of the most infamous episodes in the history of anti-SemitismJoseph SA¼ss Oppenheimerâ?"â?oJew SA¼ssâ??â?"is one of the most iconic figures in the history of anti-Semitism. In 1733, Oppenheimer became the â?ocourt Jewâ?? of Carl Alexander, the duke of the small German state of WA¼rttemberg. When Carl Alexander died unexpectedly, the WA¼rttemberg authorities arrested Oppenheimer, put him on trial, and condemned him to death for unspecified â?omisdeeds.â?? On February 4, 1738, Oppenheimer was hanged in front of a large crowd just outside Stuttgart. He is most often remembered today through several works of fiction, chief among them a vicious Nazi propaganda movie made in 1940 at the behest of Joseph Goebbels. Investigating conflicting versions of Oppenheimerâ?Ts life and death as told by his contemporaries, Yair Mintzker conjures an unforgettable picture of â?oJew SA¼ssâ?? in his final days that is at once moving, disturbing, and profound. The Many Deaths of Jew SA¼ss is a masterful work of history and an illuminating parable about Jewish life in the fraught transition to modernity.
