Feuchtwanger's \Jud Süß\ and the Ambiguities of Jewish Political Power
This reading reassesses Feuchtwanger's novel Jud Süß (1925) as historical fiction, focusing on the temporality of the events portrayed, rather than the era in which the author wrote. An examination of the motif of betrayal, intrinsic to the historical setting's characterization, lends insight into the novel's portrayal of Jewish political power as deeply ambivalent. Whereas previous scholarship has uncritically received Feuchtwanger's justification for writing the novel, I argue that the author's interest lay in his subject – the court Jew, Josef Süß Oppenheimer – precisely as a historical Jewish figure. Through his protagonist, Feuchtwanger sought to probe dilemmas that confronted Jews torn between religious community and civil society. Ultimately, the novel espouses a pessimistic view of Jewish political power, and as response to the \"Jewish question,\" it exposes the insincerity of the state's offer of equal rights to Jews in exchange for relinquishing Judaism.

Feuchtwanger's Jud Süβ and the Ambiguities of Jewish Political Power
The writer aims to foster the appropriation of this reflection on the part of the reader. Because Feuchtwanger's notion of historical fiction-that it comments on the epoch of its composition-coincides with contemporary views of the genre, this approach to Jud Süß seems promising. According to J. Friedrich Battenberg, Jews were forbidden to bear arms until the mid-seventeenth century. Noblemen reject Süß as inferior and deem counterfeit his attempts to fit in. Because Süß cultivates noble tastes as a Jewish public figure, he threatens nobles' authority; Süß's flamboyant lifestyle posits his belonging to the ruling class, even though he is not acknowledged as one of its members. Since the state cannot be trusted to fulfill its promises, the novel suggests, Jews should follow Süß's example and renounce the political sphere as a realm at odds with their interests and ultimately closed to them.
