Before the Great Depression Jewish businesspeople in Berlin thrived alongside their non-Jewish neighbors. But Nazi racism changed that, gradually destroying Jewish businesses before murdering the Jews themselves. Reconstructing the fate of more than 8,000 companies, this bookoffers the first comprehensive analysis of Jewish economic activity and its destruction in Berlin. Rather than just examining violent and bureaucratic steps taken by the persecutors, it also tells the stories of Jewish strategies in countering the effects of persecution. In doing so, this book exposes a fascinating paradox where Berlin, serving as the administrative heart of the Third Reich, was also the site of a dense network for Jewish self-help and assertion.
Christoph Kreutzmuller is a curator of the new permanent exhibition of the Jewish Museum in Berlin. He has written extensively in the fields of Holocaust, economic, and photographic history. His publications include National Economies. Volks-Wirtschaft, Racism and Economy in Europe between the Wars 1918-1939/45 (2015, co-editor Michael Wildt and Moshe Zimmermann), Berlin 1933-1945 (2013, co-editor Michael Wildt) and ) Fixiert: Fotografische Quellen zur Verfolgungund Ermordung der Juden in Europa (2016, with Julia Werner).
