Feldman takes the reader through varied cases of collaboration and conflict with the Nazi regime with fairness and a commitment to informed analysis. He touches on issues of damages in the Pogrom of 1938, insuring facilities used in forced labour camps, and the problems of de-Nazification and restitution. The broader issues examined in this study - cooperation with Nazi policies, the way in which profit, ideology, and opportunism played a role in corporate decision-making, and the question of how Jewish insurance assets were expropriated - are particularly relevant today given the ongoing international debate about restitution for Holocaust survivors. This book joins a growing body of scholarship based on free access to the records of German corporations in the Nazi era. 517 3 $aAllianz & the German Insurance Business, 1933?1945 606 $aInsurance companies$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aInsurance companies$xHistory 676 $a368/.006/543 700 $aFeldman$b Gerald D.$0183342 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970426803321 996 $aAllianz and the German insurance business, 1933-1945$94424653 997 $aUNINA
