What is your opinion of this banking family regarding the build up to world war II and during world war II.
I read on google that one of the members of the Warburg family (Max) served on the board of directors of I.G. Farben.
At first this would not appear unusual for a rich person to be a board member of a large company such as I.G Farben except the Warburgs are supposedly a family with jewish roots.
From what i understand Max left Germany in 1938 but the Nazi party and German war machine had already been created well before 1938.
from wiki-
The giant German chemical firm that produced Zyklon B gas used in Nazi extermination camps. His brother Paul Warburg served on the board of directors of I.G. Farben's wholly owned American subsidiary. (However, Paul Warburg died in January 1932, before Hitler was elected Chancellor.) The Kilgore Committee Report of 1942 indicated that all I.G. Farben board members had precise and prior knowledge that Zyklon B was being used to murder civilians in concentration camps, with no attempt made to halt production of the gas after such murders were understood. I.G. Farben was crucially instrumental in funding the rise to power of the Nazi Party, and also in building up the industrial and war-making capabilities of Germany once the Nazis were in power while simultaneously attempting to restrict industrial production materials to countries marked for invasion by Nazi Germany.
