I read 2 non-fiction books in my little house in Canada last month, which is 1 less than my average. (The weather was better than average.) Another one was The Wife of a Nazi Officer: How One Jewish Woman Survived the Holocaust. The author is Edith Hahn Beer and Susan Dworkin.
I will post at least twice the content that caught my economist’s eye. I see economics everywhere.
Here is an interesting discussion about how the Nazis distributed the wealth acquired by wealthy Jews in Austria:
Nazi radio blamed us for everything dirty and dirty in the world. The Nazis called us inferiors, and subsequently, superhumans; he accused us of plotting to kill them and rob them blind; he announced that see he had to conquer the world to prevent it we in conquering the world. The radio said that we must be deprived of everything we have; that my father, who died while working, had not really worked for our beautiful apartment—leather chairs in the dining room, earrings in my mother’s ears—that we had somehow stolen from Christian Austria, who now had all the authority. to take them back.
Do our friends and neighbors really believe this? Of course they did not believe. They weren’t stupid. But they were very depressed, out of money, and out of work. They wanted to live well again, and the fastest way to achieve that was to steal. Cultivating the belief that the Jews were greedy gave them an excuse to steal everything the Jews had. (pages 56-57)
