About this person
His antisemitic views led him to believe that the role Jews played in politics, law and the arts was excessive, and had to be drastically curtailed if not eliminated. He was the board chairman of Munich Re during World War II. After the fall of the Nazi regime, he was removed from all his positions and underwent denazification procedures, which resulted in the payment of a fine.
