Came across this illuminating story in the FT on Leitz company’s role during the NS era in Germany. Then I found the site of Jill Enfield, a member of one of the families despatched abroad by Leitz who still appears to be committed to photography.

The point of this? I suppose the point is realising that there are far too few stories in the media about how people did the right and decent thing and not even want to talk about it as opposed to someone engaging in cruel acts or acts that attempt to gain some degree of publicity.

Since this is a world based more and more on the expectation of a reward for anything you do (ideally fame and wealth), you’d wonder what value anyone sees in good deeds when growing up in such a value system.
