by: Simon Reich | January 01, 2000 Dimensions Vol. 13, No. 2. To what extent -- if any -- and in what ways, did Ford in Germany cooperate with the Nazi regime? And, if it did, what motivated such cooperation: racist ideology, or a concern for corporate profitability? In 1990 I published a book entitled The Fruits of Fascism (Cornell University Press), in which I attempted to offer a compelling and novel thesis. I argued that the different degrees of success enjoyed by the Ford Motor Company's…
Fifty Years of Forgetting and Remembering by: S. Jonathan Wiesen | January 01, 2000 Dimensions, Vol. 13, No. 2. The great majority of German businessmen behaved in a decidedly unheroic manner during the Nazi era. Most of them, especially leaders of larger companies, not only refrained from risking their lives to save Jews, but actually profited from the use of forced and slave labor, the "Aryanization" of Jewish property, and the plundering of companies in Nazi-occupied Europe. Six years ago,…

August 30, 2011 Ten years after 9/11, antisemitic conspiracy theories surrounding the attacks are "alive and well" and fueled by an entrenched propaganda industry, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which today issued a new report showing how these theories have grown and evolved over the last decade.
In "Decade of Deceit: Antisemitic 9/11 Conspiracy Theories 10 Years Later," ADL looks at the individuals who continue to circulate distorted conspiracy theories about 9/11,…
Compliance and Confrontation by: Victoria J. Barnett | January 01, 1998 Dimensions, Vol 12, No 2 Churches throughout Europe were mostly silent while Jews were persecuted, deported and murdered by the Nazis. Churches, especially those in Nazi Germany, sought to act, as institutions tend to do, in their own best interests -- narrowly defined, short-sighted interests. The list of "bystanders" -- those who declined to challenge the Third Reich in any way -- that emerges from any study…
by: Jonathan Petropoulos | January 01, 1997 Dimensions, Vol 11, No 1 It is time for Switzerland, Sweden, Portugal and Spain to acknowledge that there were no truly neutral countries on the European continent during World War II. It is now time for those four nations to acknowledge that they were part of the Nazis' New Order and that they bear some responsibility for the tragic history of the Thirties and Forties. Neutrality, when practiced by nations, is not always neutral. It does not…
