#309 Working for a German firm
Question
I am looking for work and during my networking conversations I’ve been put in touch with someone from a German firm. I’m thinking I should not pursue this. Would you agree?
Answer
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit"a advise is to check the history of this particular company to ascertain if a questionable background, relating them to war crimes or Jewish persecution during the Holocaust evolves. Even if it this is confirmed there would not be today any Halachik prohibition to be employed by them. However, it may involve questionable feelings and a dubious sense of propriety and moral correctness.
