Kuehne + Nagel

The board of directors of Kühne+Nagel plans to launch an independent investigation into the logistics group's role during National Socialism within a reasonable time. The move follows the death of long‑time majority shareholder Klaus‑Michael Kühne, who had previously rejected such a review. The company has already admitted to being involved in transports of confiscated goods; archives from Bremen and Hamburg are believed to have been largely destroyed. A former Jewish co‑owner, Adolf Maass, left the firm in 1933 and was later deported to Auschwitz and murdered. » Mere på manager-magazin.de
