Nazis Killed Her Father. Then She Fell in Love With One.

Their billionaire descendants, who control Krispy Kreme, Stumptown and other brands, are grappling with the exposure of an unspeakable secret.

1. Such appalling events

Emilie Landecker was 19 when she went to work for Benckiser, a German company that made industrial cleaning products and also took pride in cleansing its staff of non-Aryan elements.

It was 1941. Ms. Landecker was half Jewish and terrified of deportation. Her new boss, Albert Reimann Jr., was an early disciple of Adolf Hitler and described himself as an “unconditional follower” of Nazi race theory.

Somehow, inexplicably, they fell in love.

The story of Ms. Landecker, whose Jewish father was murdered by the Nazis, and Mr. Reimann, whose fervent Nazism and abuse of forced laborers did not stop his family from attaining colossal wealth after the war, is a tale of death and devotion and human contradictions. It is also a tale of modern-day corporate atonement.

So, when will the boycott of Krispy Kreme start? I know it's the 'nyt' but an interesting story. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Is that kinda like modern day “diversity” programs in the workplace ridding itself of whites, males, Christians and heterosexuals?

“also took pride in cleansing its staff of non-Aryan elements.”

For liberals it's relentless SEARCH AND DESTROY.

Deconstruct anything or anyone, trace their history back as far as you can and you'll find something.

“The owners are unconditional followers of the race theory.” Let's say this statement was made and is reported as a fact.

What exactly does it mean?

Does it mean from the beginning, they agreed with plans to exterminate Jews or does it simply mean they believed races, black, white, yellow, red, were observably different?

They probably didn’t care much for Africans. But they loved them some mooselimbs.

There are a lot of things most people do not understand about women.

Interestingly enough, I read a story about an African exchange student who got stuck in Germany when WW II started. He said the Nazis didn’t bother him at all.

That revelation is deeply disturbing, but I’m not destroying my Keurig coffee machine because of it. These people are DEAD, OK??? If their heirs wish, they can make appropriate compensation to Holocaust survivors, Jew and Gentile alike.

And Krispy Kreme donuts taste like dreck to me. That’s why I don’t eat them. I’m tempted to buy a box, however, just to piss off the SJW’s who want to destroy anybody with ancestors who gravely sinned in the past.
