There were many scoundrels and cowards leading Big Industry when the Nazis were in power, but there were also brave men and woman whose moral compass did not fail them.  One of those men was Berthold Beitz, head of German industrial giant ThyssenKrupp.   He passed away this week.  Read about his story in one of the articles below.
