Lot 727:
Description
Original German-language edition of “Jud Süß” by J.P. George, a novel associated with the notorious historical figure Joseph Süß Oppenheimer and widely circulated during the National Socialist period. This work draws on the story of Joseph Süß Oppenheimer, an 18th-century Jewish financier. During the Third Reich, his story was heavily distorted and weaponized in anti-Semitic propaganda, most infamously through literature and film adaptations.Books like this were part of a broader effort to spread ideological narratives and reinforce regime propaganda, making surviving examples historically significant—though controversial—artifacts of the period.
