Considered to be a lost film until a print was found in Moscow in 1996 by German researchers who were consulting the Gosfilmofond (Russian archives). It was a deteriorated black-and-white copy called "Jerusalem's Storm" without displaying the original title and with new chapters abruptly included. A copy was made from this remaining version (since the original nitrate was lost), receiving a color treatment like the ones in 1920s films and corrections taken from notes of the German censors' archives.
Italian censorship visa # 18210 delivered on 1923.
The movie was a big hit when it was released except in Bavaria, where the Nazi party accused it of being "Jewish propaganda" and threatened cinema owners who tried to show it.
