Julius Fromm

Owing to his Jewish heritage, his company and personal property was stolen by the Nazis in aryanization when he left Germany for England in 1939.

As mechanization gradually replaced manual production, Fromm started attending evening classes in chemistry.

[6] Mass production started in 1922 and was a great success—Fromms Act, as they were called, becoming the first brand-name condoms—which allowed the entrepreneur soon to open up branches in Denmark, the United Kingdom, Poland, and the Netherlands.

In 1938, however, under Nazi rule, the government forced Fromm to sell his factories for 116,000 ℛ︁ℳ︁, a fraction of their real value, to Baroness Elisabeth von Epenstein, Hermann Göring's godmother.

Fromm's estate, which was worth the equivalent of approximately 30 million Euros, had already been auctioned off on 17 May 1943 for ℛ︁ℳ︁, though many items including a grand piano, plates, and his library had already been bought or stolen before.

Metz-Randa, Elisabeth von Epenstein's lover, had acquired these rights after the death of Göring's godfather, and managed to transform himself from a profiteer of "Entjudung" (de-jewification) to a victim of the National Socialist regime.
