Max Naumann

Göring summoned the top three German-Jewish leaders after seeing the impact of the Jewish led boycott. The boycott was launched in protest against treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany.

-Julius Brodnitz of the Central Verein
-Max Naumann of the Union of National German Jews
-Heinrich Stahl of the Berlin Jewish Community.

Göring had summoned the top three Jewish leaders (Julius Brodnitz, Max Naumann, and Heinrich Stahl) to a meeting about the Jewish led boycott against Germany. A couple of the Zionist groups had caught wind of the meeting - wanting their their Zionist views to be represented too they went uninvited. The only Zionist allowed in the meeting was Zionist Kurt Blumenfeld of the German Zionist Federation. After being formally introduced to Göring the Jewish leaders were then yelled at by Göring. He claims that they were spreading lies about Jews being attacked by Nazi forces, and they needed to stop the foreign Jews boycotting Germany. In response to Göring saying there were no crimes being committed against the Jews Naumann gives Göring a laundry list of what the Nazis had been doing to the Jews, and he even produced a newspaper clipping showing Nazis forcing Jews to scrub streets with a brushes. While the other three Jewish leaders said there was nothing that they could really do to stop the protest in foreign countries Blumenfeld cut into the conversation and stated that he could easy communicate with the foreign Jewish groups which pleased Göring.
