[Leica] Leica and the Jews

[Richard Clompus]

I have read several accounts of the efforts made by the Leitz family to help Jews emigrate to safety in the U.S.  The Leitz family members never sought publicity for their efforts that saved many lives during that horrendous time. 

Be well,
Richard

But I was impressed and gratified – given the behavior of German industries in general in the Nazi era, it cannot be assumed that any particular corporation, no matter how beloved and benignly regarded now, would have behaved morally and courageously then.
