| Summary: | In a penetrating study of pre–World War II “Jewish Policy” (Judenpolitik) in the German railroads (Reichsbahn), Alfred Gottwaldt exposes a pattern of incremental steps stripping German Jews of both rights and dignity and foreshadowing the cold, bureaucratic treatment of Jews, foreigners, and forced laborers during the war. To shield profits from reparations payments required by the Versailles Treaty, the Reichsbahn functioned until its 1937 reincorporation into the Reich Transportation Ministry as an “independent economic enterprise” that “manages and administers the existing railroads as property of the Reich” (p. 24). |
