Süss knows that once he is in the city and has the ear of Duke Karl Alexander. He will be able to manipulate is way into staying inside the city and protected by the Duke. “The plot concerns the rise and fall of Suss. The Duke’s emissary visits him in the Frankfurt ghetto.

It’s great to get grips with the Jewish race at last. The more that die the better; hitting them represents a victory for our Reich” ( Noakes
