Deutsche Bank contracted five well-known historians to research and write Die Deutsche Bank 1870-1995, which will be pub- lished this month to coincide with the bank's 125th anniversary. Deutsche Bank is one of a growing number of German com- panies that have begun to deal with their Nazi past. Last year, automobile manu- facturer Daimler Benz funded the publication of a book about prison laborers at the company's facto- ries during the war. Another book is now being written about Volk- swagen's use of forced labor un- der the Third Reich. Research on the Deutsche Bank history was greatly aided by the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Some 12,000 documents on the bank had been stored in the former East German city of Pots- dam, making them inaccessible during the Cold War years. Harold James, a British pro- fessor who teaches at Princeton University, wrote the chapter cov- ering the Hitler period, from 1933 to 1945. An 80-page excerpt of the chap- ter written by Mr. James was made available to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. It details the fate of Deutsche Bank's Jewish executives and the bank's involvement in the expro- priation of Jewish property. Mr. James wrote that the Deutsche Bank played a mixed role in the expropriation of Jew- ish property under the Nazis, but that the bank has a "deep moral guilt" as a result of its ties to the Third Reich. The chapter includes a section about Oscar Wassermann, a Jew- ish member of Deutsche's board of directors in the 1920s and ear- ly 1930s who was incorrectly blamed for a bank crisis in 1931. Two non-Jewish board members were actually responsible for the problem, Mr. James wrote. Mr. Wassermann was at- tacked by government officials as a Jew and a Zionist. In May 1933, bowing to the new Nazi govern- ment, Mr. Wassermann, 64, and Theodor Frank, 62, another Jew- ish board member, were forced off the board. The Princeton professor also recounted how several lower- ranking employees of the bank seized the Nazi ideology as a way for them to advance their careers. But he also recorded cases of resistance. A branch director in Frankenthal refused to turn over a list of Jewish accounts to the Nazi authorities. 16 x 68 18 x 68 42 x 30 61.54 36 92 42 x 42 48.47 Special Savings 42 x 48 80.78 90.40 42 x 54 100.02 60.01 42 x 60 109.64 65.78 Many Sizes Available 42 x 72 128.88 77.33 NOW AT 54.24 Visit Our Showroom Today! 22223 Telegraph Road Southfield (South of 9 Mile Road) Or CaTh 810 GLASS 353 5770 - A Clear Reflection of Quality For a Free Estimate or Consultation on Custom Glass Design and Installation Since 1964 Building for the future?
