In 1935, on Christmas Eve, Hitler, Goebbels and Göring took pictures with children in a department store, where they gave out gifts, patted heads and posed with Santa Claus. The message: We love children and children love us. Were you in this wonderful department? The Whertheim emporium was constantly threatened by National Socialism, they even changed its entire management leadership for non-Jewish personnel and hung the swastika in every corner. Finally nothing could be done.
