Feldman's examination of Allianz AG during the Nazi era utilizes newly accessible archival sources to provide a detailed account of the company's interactions with the regime. The narrative explores complex themes of collaboration, profit, and ideology, highlighting instances of complicity, such as involvement in forced labor and the 1938 Pogrom.
