Judith Trachtenberg is a German silent film drama from 1920 directed by Henrik Galeen with Leontine Kühnberg in the leading role.
action
Austro-Poland mid-19th century. The young Jew Judith Trachtenberg lives with her family in the Yiddish ghetto when she met the non-Jewish aristocrat Count Agenor Baranowski at a ball organized by her father's business partner. A little later, Baranowski was able to protect her from an overly pushy Polish officer. Judith and Agenor fall in love, and when Judith becomes pregnant by the count, she leaves her family to follow her count and live with him in "wild marriage".
Judith's devout family, especially her father, is appalled at such "immoral" behavior. When Judith and Agenor then want to marry, this does not agree with their Jewish relatives, especially since Count Agenor is not a Jew. Torn between her love and the urgent desire to conform to the ideas of her religious community and her family, which she has ostracized and excluded from their circles, Judith Trachtenberg finally sees no other way out than to kill herself. On the day of her upcoming wedding, she goes into the water.
