Jews Pre-Nazi Germany: The Abundance of Jews in Certain Professions

The author was a Jew and a Marxist. Here is his assessment of the situation of Jews in Weimar and early Nazi Germany:

Neumann writes, “Jewish influence was unquestionably strong in the free professions and in big cities. Outside the free professions, Jews were engaged mainly in trade and transport, though their share in industry was not inconsiderable. In agriculture they played a very small part, if any. Most of the department stores were owned by Jews; Jews were also predominant in the metal trades (57.3 percent Jewish)…Jews controlled 18.7 percent of all the banks and most of the clothing industry.” (p. 113).

To keep the foregoing in perspective, note that Jews were only about 1% of the population of Weimar Germany!
