German logistics billionaire faces questions over Nazi-era legacy

Neil Gregor

@neilgregor.bsky.social

Interesting enough about Kuehne & Nagel but the @financialtimes.com (of all newspapers!) should know that the suggestion that German companies are only now being forced to engage with their difficult pasts is just nonsense - this has been a live topic for a good 30 years.

Klaus-Michael Kuehne has repeatedly declined to address growing evidence of his company’s wartime conduct

Eine Organisation, die gar nicht existiert, soll überall verboten und ihe nicht existierenden Mitglieder verhaftet werden. Bis vor wenigen Jahren wäre solches politisches Personal ausgelacht und zum Psychiater geschickt worden. Heute bekleidet es Präsidenten- und Ministerämter.

You can wear one pair on your nose, and the other on your forehead, and just call it a tribute to the Two Ronnies?

So it IS a documentary after all.

@neilgregor.bsky.social

For me it's about working to ensure that the machine-like character of universities doesn't reproduce itself in our individual working habits. The downside: it takes a long time to produce books (or it does for me, at least).
