  1. denton- she was involved in a few other things with the Nazis- the factory wasn’t the only thing. I have to take issue with the comment by the author that Chanel was “crooked.” that’s an interpretation by the author and considering the Chanel was an astute businesswoman, I don’t see her letting anyone get away with anything. She built her business brilliantly, suddenly some guy is “taking advantage” of her? A little hard to swallow.

    Where is the evidence that Wertheimer was guilty of anything? And if he made a deal that benefited him, it in no way excuses her using the aryan laws to take his business from him. I’m sure Wertheimer was forced to sign over his company- if Chanel lost to him, there was good reason.

  2. Non-breakables rule. Way back before we got a Target here and there was Caldor’s (anyone remember that store?), I picked up a blue pyrex dish with lid. I dropped it. It bounced, rolled down the aisle and then came to a stop. It never broke or chipped. I bought it and still have it. Damn, I love that thing!
