2 - Ambivalence
from Part I - Prologue, 1918–1933
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 November 2024
Summary
The chapter argues that prior to Hitler’s accession, Germany’s corporate elite was fatefully ambivalent toward Jews: sympathetic to those who were part of it, suspicious of those who were critical of it or newly arrived in the country. This ambivalence meant that corporate executives were generally neither antisemites nor anti-antisemites or that they were simultaneously both.
