I saw the movie Jud Suess several years ago. Evidentally it is based on a true story. I would wager that Goebbels embellished tings a bit, or perhaps omitted significant facts. To what extent then is this notorious propaganda film fact, and to what extent is it ficiton.

Jud Suess
Einsamer Wolf -
The controversial Nazi production of Jud Süß, made in 1940, was loosely based on the 1925 book by the Jewish author Lion Feuchtwanger. It was not the first film to be based on the book - in 1934 a British version was made. You can find out more here:

Here is one of the many unofficial posters for the Nazi production:

The English version should be readily available, I'm surprised that you can't find it at Amazon. I checked myself, and was equally surprised.
With regard to Veit Harlan's production, I know I have found a link elsewhere and slightly less "dodgy", but this might be a good bet. They've got other Nazi-era stuff too.
