Krispy Kreme Owners Donate $11 Million to Atone for Nazi Family History | Eater
"This chain is part of a portfolio controlled by a family whose holding company, JAB Holdings, has roots in the early 1800s. Reporting has revealed that Albert Reimann Sr. and Albert Reimann Jr. profited from forced labor of French prisoners of war and Russian civilians during World War II and made donations to Hitler’s SS; the family had been conducting its own investigation at the same time the press published these findings. After the revelations, the current family announced plans to donate roughly $11 million to charity, and a company spokesman acknowledged the company enriched itself through forced labor, called the crimes “disgusting,” and said Reimann Sr. and Jr. belonged in jail." - Tim Forster
