Product Description
"This will be the Anti-Semitic Film"
-Joseph Goebbels diary entry
December 15, 1939
Jud Süss (1940) Bonus Booklet - 22 Pages of Historical Insight Dive into the complex history of Nazi propaganda with this standalone 22-page color and black-and-white booklet, originally included with the Jud Süss (1940) DVD. Authored by David Culbert, John L. Loos Professor of History at Louisiana State University, with a rejoinder by John Abbott, this meticulously crafted essay provides a deep exploration of one of the Third Reich’s most notorious propaganda films. Under Joseph Goebbels’ Propaganda Ministry, Jud Süss was a cinematic triumph designed to rival Hollywood while promoting virulent anti-Semitism. Fully financed by the Nazi government, the film, starring Ferdinand Marian as the manipulative Joseph Süss Oppenheimer, drew over 20 million viewers, becoming a box-office sensation across Nazi-occupied Europe. Culbert’s essay details Goebbels’ control over the German film industry, the film’s production, and its historical context, from its lavish sets to its chilling reception. It examines the film’s role in Nazi propaganda, its distribution network, and varied responses, including resistance in occupied France where protests erupted. Abbott’s rejoinder challenges the film’s impact, arguing it galvanized public consent for Nazi anti-Jewish policies, raising critical questions about cinema’s power to shape attitudes. This booklet, measuring 4½ x 7⅛ inches, is an essential resource for historians, film scholars, and students studying Nazi propaganda, anti-Semitism, or the ethics of historical media. It offers a nuanced perspective on Jud Süss’s legacy, encouraging reflection on its moral and historical implications without promoting its hateful message. References to related films like Die Rothschilds and Der ewige Jude provide additional context. Perfect for academic use or personal study, this standalone booklet is a vital companion for understanding the artistry and danger of Nazi propaganda. Ideal for courses on Nazi history, film studies, or Holocaust education. Note: This is the booklet only, not the Jud Süss DVD. Recommended for educational purposes due to the sensitive nature of the film’s content.
