| Description: |
Prior to 1940, the author's family lived in Germany. Being Jewish, they were forced to flee the country. After the war, the Rosenfelder family never recovered their house. The L'Oreal cosmetics firm opened its head office here and refused to recognise its owners. This book presents the legal case led by a lone woman against this firm. |
| Synopsis: |
This work presents a legal case led by a lone woman against one of the largest multinationals. It is a personal and explosive true story. L'Oreal took my house,' Edith Rosenfelder was constantly saying. This claim affected her daughter Monica who decided when she grew up to try to understand what lay behind. It was the start of a true investigation and one that she recounts in this book. Her story combines the latest news with the most tragic elements of history: Prior to 1940, Monica's family lived in Germany. Being Jewish, they were forced to flee the country, abandoning all her possessions. The Rosenfelder's property was looted in the same way as were many other European Jews who were victims of persecution prior to the Shoah. After the war, not all property was returned. That is how the Rosenfelder family never recovered their house, which was located in the centre of Karlsruhe. It was a wonderful site in which the L'Oreal cosmetics firm opened its head office and refused, and still does, to recognise its legitimate owners. |
