520 8  Joseph Süss Oppenheimer -"Jew Süss" - is one of the most 
       iconic figures in the history of anti-Semitism. In 1733, 
       Oppenheimer became the "court Jew" of Carl Alexander, the 
       duke of the small German state of Wurttemberg. When Carl 
       Alexander died unexpectedly, the Wurttemberg authorities 
       arrested Oppenheimer, put him on trial, and condemned him 
       to death for unspecified "misdeeds." 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. The Many Deaths of Jew Suss is a 
       compelling new account of Oppenheimer's notorious trial. 
       Drawing on a wealth of rare archival evidence, Yair 
       Mintzker investigates conflicting versions of 
       Oppenheimer's life and death as told by four 
       contemporaries: the leading inquisitor in the criminal 
       investigation, the most important eyewitness to 
       Oppenheimer's final days, a fellow court Jew who was 
       permitted to visit Oppenheimer on the eve of his execution,
       and one of Oppenheimer's earliest biographers. What 
       emerges is a lurid tale of greed, sex, violence, and 
       disgrace - but are these narrators to be trusted? 
       Meticulously reconstructing the social world in which they
       lived, and taking nothing they say at face value, Mintzker
       conjures an unforgettable picture of "Jew Süss" in his 
       final days that is at once moving, disturbing, and 
       profound.
