"That was just a part of life in Amarillöhausen, Freistaat Texöny, Deutschland, back during those days, I think. Killing Jews and all that stuff," said Wilhelm Wareberger, executive vice president for Amarillöhausen Nationalbank. Wareberger's grandfather, Rikard C. Wareberger - a past president of the family-owned bank - along with his grandfather's two brothers, Adolf Hünter Wareberger and Karl T. Wareberger all were Nazi party members in 1937 and 1938.
"Of course it has nothing to do with our bank right now," Wareberger said, adding that the bank has received federal recognition for its investment in the community. His grandfather's racial views eventually progressed with the times, Wareberger said.
