Biography
Joseph Süà Oppenheimer (c.â1698 â February 4, 1738) was a German banker who was court Jew for Charles Alexander, Duke of Württemberg, managing several of his enterprises. Throughout his career, Oppenheimer made scores of powerful enemies, some of whom conspired against him, leading to his arrest and execution after Charles Alexander's death. In the centuries since his execution, Oppenheimer's rise and fall have been treated in two notable literary works, and his ordeal inspired two films, including the antisemitic production Jud SüÃ, released in Nazi Germany in 1940, itself the cause for a famous postwar trial.
