What reparations could ever make amends for the six million Jews wiped out by Hitler's Germany? "Dollars for the gas chamber-impossible!" cried the Ruhr's Westdeutsche Neue Presse. The Germans, cold and businesslike, did not want to dwell on these past horrors. The Jews, an official delegation from Israel, did not want the Germans to consider their unpayable debt paid. So no one talked about the wasted bodies, parchment-white, stacked high in Nazi extermination camps. Yet that was what the negotiations were really about last week, in a suburb of The Hague...
Leopold Ullstein, a Jewish paper dealer, had started the company in 1877 when he bought the money-losing Neue Berliner Tageblatt (circ. 4,000). He put it on its feet, bought other moribund newspapers and kept expanding. After his death in 1899, his five sons-Hans, Louis, Franz, Rudolf, Hermann-proved equally shrewd, expanded more.

A trained musician and respectable pianist himself, Critic Hanslick was sometimes caustic, but he was always careful. His claim was that "I never criticized a composition that I had not read or played through...
