Die Akte Joel (2001)
Josef Neckermann and the Joel Family
Although he Josef Neckermann was connected with some of the Nazis he was not encouraging what they were doing. When he received the company it was merely because someone else would have if he hadn't. After the war Josef Neckermann was put on trial at the Nuremberg trials, the Americans put all of the convicted into a similar sort of concentration camp. This was a little hypocritical, he was only let out when he was 90 pounds because they thought that he was going to die, this was immensely skinny for such a man he was more than 6 feet tall. After he was released from the "concentration" he had lost all his money and the company, He then started new and then he built the huge Neckermann company. Also later the Neckermann family paid the Joel family more than $2,000,000 dollars, more than Joel would ever have gotten for the company which he would have had to give up anyway.
