Jüdische Lebenswelten in Spielfilmen und Fernsehspielen

by Dietmar Pertsch

Lists and discusses all the motion pictures and TV films dealing with themes from Jewish history, from biblical times to full legal emancipation, produced from the 1920s to the present in Germany and in other countries. Analyzes the images they project of Jews and the conditions under which they were forced to live because of the hostility of Christian society. Ch. 5 (pp. 64-115) deals with the figure of Joseph Süss Oppenheimer ("Jud Süss").
