Title Housing resilience : mortgages and dispossession, 1933-1941.
Contributors Lange, Carolin Dorothée, 1980-
Host Item Yad Vashem Studies 52,2 (2024) 47-74
Description One of the prime targets of Nazi policies was to “clean” housing from all non-German owners and eventually from all Jewish tenants. By analyzing all the transactions of an independent German mortgage bank, the authors show how this bank was willing to lend money to Jews in order to buy or build houses in order to keep its share in a shrinking market. In fact Jews were the bank’s best customers in the mid-1930s, until they were forced out of the market. However, an in-depth analysis of the cases also shows that the Jews made a strong claim that they regarded Germany as their home, and eventually used the customary and legal protection that the land registers and housing enjoyed in a bid to outplay the Nazi assault on their property.
