Jud Süß (The Jew Süss) was the nickname of Joseph Süss Oppenheimer and is the title of an 1827 novella by Wilhelm Hauff, a 1925 historical novel by Lion Feuchtwanger, a 1934 British film and a Nazi propaganda film made in 1940 by Veit Harlan, all of which are stories with a title character modelled on Oppenheimer. The Feuchtwanger book and the 1934 film based on it were both condemnations of anti-Semitism. The 1934 film was also intended as a satire of Nazi anti-Semitism.
