Reception

Bosley Crowther, critic for The New York Times, praised it as "a trenchant dramatic exposition of the way in which an innocent German Jew is almost destroyed by nascent Nazis—back in 1926."[2]

The film sold more than 4,330,000 tickets, making it one of DEFA's all-time most successful productions.[3]
