Nazi persecution and strategies for survival. Jewish businesses in Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, Breslau, 1933-1942

Examines Jewish strategies for economic survival in Germany in the face of ongoing government onslaught in the first ten years of the regime. Shows that the Jews' initiative in these three communities resulted in a limited measure of success until late 1938. The size of the city and of the Jewish community enabled some Jewish businessmen to elude the regime's persecution and helped the communities maintain their welfare and relief efforts for less fortunate Jews
