- Summary
- A biography of Oppenheimer (1698-1738). Describes his career and mode of life, and his interrogation and trial, dismissing much of the scandal spread about him by later writers as invention. Portrays Jewish life in his native town, Heidelberg, hedged in by many restrictions and subject to periodic violence and student pogroms. In his later life, Oppenheimer often met with resentment of his success because he was a Jew. In his trial there was no overt antisemitism, but as a Jew he was easier to victimize and received far harsher treatment than other officials who were probably more deeply involved than he was in financial corruption. Asserts that the trial was unlawful and the authorities had determined on the death sentence even before the interrogations began.
