Sauce for the Goose

I recently finished the second volume of Richard J. Evan’s history of The Third Reich. It is entitled The Third Reich in Power. It is excellent but not quite so compelling as The Coming of the Third Reich. Once again the differences between the  Nazis and the German Jews are described in black and white terms. The Nazis are cynical, corrupt, arrogant and violent. The Jews are moral, conservative, traditional and, above all, patriotic. Very telling is the story of how greedy and corrupt Nazis Ayrianized (expropriated) Jewish business during the thirties. The Nazis made out like bandits. No mention was made in The Coming of the Third Reich of German Jews with international connections buying up German businesses during the hyperinflationary years of the Weimar Republic at fire-sale prices. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander!
