'Aryanisation' in Hamburg

Focusing on the involvement of non-Jewish Germans during the Nazi regime, this study reveals how "ordinary Germans" participated in the systematic exclusion of Jews from economic life in Hamburg. It highlights the shift from societal antisemitism to opportunistic greed, as many betrayed their former co-citizens for personal gain. By examining this lesser-known aspect of history, the book provides critical insights into the motivations behind the actions of ordinary individuals during one of Europe's darkest periods.
