In 1932, the outstanding German writer Lion Feuchtwanger published the novel “The Jewish War,” followed by the novel “Sons” in 1935, and “The Day Will Come” in 1945. Together they composed a trilogy dedicated to the life of the Roman historian and military leader of Jewish origin, Josephus. A priest of the first order of the Jerusalem Temple, a patriot and participant in the Jewish uprising, Joseph ben Mattathias faces a painful choice: accept captivity or accept death, go over to the side of the Romans and betray the faith of his fathers, or die. However, the future creator of the historical treatise “The Jewish War” chooses his own path, on which he is infinitely alone: living in Rome and enjoying the patronage of the Flavians, he becomes the most devoted preacher of the unique role of the Jewish people in the history of mankind... In the work of Feuchtwanger, a German of Jewish origin, forced to leave Germany with the coming to power of the Nazis, the themes of expulsion from their native country and the place of the Jewish people in the world take on a special, deeply personal resonance.
