Abstract:
Discusses Nazi policy toward Jews by relating the fate of a German Jewish banking family in Dresden in the 1930s. The parent firm of Arnhold’s bank, founded in 1864 and considered one of the most efficient private banks in Germany, was Aryanized already in 1935. The family continued to maintain the Berlin branch until 1937, then sold it to a Dresden bank in exchange for an unofficial promise by its representatives to aid the Jewish partners in the procurement of visas and the transfer of capital, a promise which was not kept. All of the brothers and sisters and their families emigrated after 1938 to Switzerland, France, and England; from there, in 1939 and 1940, some went on to Brazil and others travelled via Cuba to the USA.
