Abstract:
Goldmann, a baptized Jew and ardent German nationalist, was medical director of the Stuttgart dental clinics. He was close to the Verband Nationaldeutscher Juden and attempted to persuade prominent Jews that it was their patriotic duty to give up leading positions in politics and the economy. Goldmann would have willingly joined the Nazi Party; instead, in 1933, he was dismissed from office, and in 1938 deprived of the right to practice. Still, he refused to consider the possibility of emigration. His marriage to an Aryan saved him from deportation. He became active in the Reichsverband der nichtarischen Christen, later the Paulus-Bund, which insisted on its loyalty to the Nazi state. In 1937, by order of the authorities, he, like all other "full Jews, " was excluded from this organization. In 1940 he became an informer for the SD and Gestapo. Nevertheless, in 1944 he was sent to a forced labor camp. After the war, the Stuttgart denazification tribunal found him guilty and sentenced him to three years in a labor camp, confiscation of his property, and loss of his rights as a citizen.
