A German man whose grandfather acquired a Jewish family’s store on the cheap due to the Nazis’ antisemitic policies has located the family’s descendent in Israel and apologized, CNN reported over the weekend.
Thomas Edelmann, 49, was aware that his grandfather Wilhelm acquired a hardware store from a Jewish man named Benjamin Heidelberger in 1938 after the Nazis enacted the discriminatory Nuremburg Laws, allowing Jewish property to be easily acquired by non-Jews at usurious prices.
