Hands at work on a precision part, 1937

Close on the bench: a worker's hands turn a small threaded component onto a spindle, test its fit and turn it again, a sponge and polishing tools beside it. Ernst Leitz II, who ran the firm, quietly helped a number of Jewish employees and others to leave Germany in the 1930s by placing them with Leitz agencies abroad.
