　　If you wanted to buy a top-quality condom in prewar Germany,

you bought Fromms Act, the first brand name condom and still a

leading brand in the German market. The man behind this "pure

German quality product" was Julius Fromm, a Jewish entrepreneur who

had immigrated from Russia as a child. Fromm was in the right place

at the right time: he patented Fromms Act in 1916, when the

combination of changing sexual mores, awareness of sexual health,

and the lack of reliable prophylactics meant a market primed for

his product. In 1922 he began mass production and opened

international branches. Sixteen years later, after building the

brand into a best seller and the company into a model business, he

was forced to sell Fromms Act for a fraction of its worth to a

German baroness. In 1939 he emigrated to London.

Aly and Sontheimer trace Fromm's rise and fall, illuminating the

ways Jewish businesses like his were Aryanized under the Nazis.

Through the biography of this businessman and the story of his

unusual and fabulously successful company, we learn the fascinating

history of the first branded condoms in Germany and the sexual

culture that allowed them to thrive, the heretofore undocumented

machinations by which the Nazis robbed German-Jewish families of

their businesses, and the tragedy of a man whose great love for the

adopted country that first allowed him to succeed was betrayed by

its government and his fellow citizens.

This captivating account offers a wealth of detail and a fresh

array of photographic documentation, and adds a striking new

dimension to our understanding of this dark period in German

history.
