I saw this article today; it is about a controversy over the German insurance company Allianz to buy the naming rights of the new football stadium the New York Giants and Jets.
It's controversial because Allianz very famous Nazi links - they assured Auschwitz, their CEO was one of Hitler's advisers, and during the Holocaust, instead to pay life insurance benefits Jews, they sent the money directly to the Nazis.
Jewish groups do not want to get Allianz naming rights of the new Meadowlands Abe Foxman, head of the Anti-Defanation League, said, I quote, that would be an insult It's to put their name in lights for generations to come .
Since the Second World War ended, Allianz has officially apologized for its role in the Holocaust and paid millions of dollars in compensation brings me to a larger point here how should we tell the companies employees Nazis, OK you've apologized, you paid, any of your current employees worked with the Nazis, it is time to move on.
Because there are a number of companies which has worked with more than Allianz Nazis and the other 11, I am about to speak here, they apologized every five Many have paid restitution past two generations.
I won t comment if I think that people should forgive them their boycott continue to patronize, but reluctantly or continue to attend them with statements like, Wow, Allianz, your insurance is so good, we are so impressed with what you do and if it wasn t for 800 more, better insurance companies out there, we sign to TOTALLY with you.
