What policy tools did the National Socialists use to suppress the economic growth or success of Jewish-owned firms in Germany? This event, launching the series "Understanding the politics and policies of exclusion", will explore the origins and consequences of enforced reorganisation on companies and organisations in Germany after the Nazis came to power.
Join Acting President Mark Hallerberg and members of our community to explore the politics and policies of exclusion, both in a historical and contemporary context.
Professor Dr. Joachim Scholtyseck will provide a keynote address, followed by an open Q&A.
