Unterthanen [“Jubilant congratulations and joyful cheering at the well-guarded departure of the famed Jew and notorious national impostor, Suess Oppenheimer from Stuttgart to… the gallows and to hell…”]

summary

Four-page poem celebrating the downfall of Joseph Suess Oppenheimer (1698-1738), court Jew to the Duke of Württemberg. The undoing of “Jud Suess,” an event of widespread revengeful merriment, remained a subject of ridicule within German-speaking anti-Semitic circles for centuries.
