Rabinowitz

Moritz Rabinowitz: Haugesunder, businessman, Jew. A sharp social critic who warned against the rise of Nazism in Europe, whose voice carried far beyond the country's borders, this is the story of businessman and humanist Moritz Rabinowitz. The Jewish man himself became a victim of fascism's racial politics, against which he strongly warned the Norwegian and international communities through years of newspaper articles. When the Germans invaded Norway in 1940, Rabinowitz was one of the first they caught.
