The New York Times reported on the death of Martin Dannenberg, 94, who found the Nuremberg Laws Document in a bank vault.
These laws stripped Jews of their German citizenship...
“I had the most peculiar feeling when I had this in my hand, that I should be the one who should uncover this,” Mr. Dannenberg said in an interview with The Baltimore Sun in 1999. “Because here is this thing that begins the persecution of the Jews. And a Jewish person has found it.”
....He dropped out of law school when his boss pointed out the window at men selling fruit. “Each one of them used to be a lawyer before the Depression,” he said.
At the onset of the Second World War, Mr. Dannenberg enlisted in the army. The rest is history.
