It all started when the younger generation of one of Germany's richest families began to ask questions about the past.
One of Germany's richest families, whose company owns a controlling interest in Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Panera Bread, Pret a Manger and other well-known businesses, plans to donate millions to charity after learning about their ancestors' enthusiastic support of Adolf Hitler and use of forced labourers under the Nazis, according to a report Sunday.In a four-page report, the Bild newspaper reported that documents uncovered in Germany, France and the US reveal that Albert Reimann Sr.
But after reading documents kept by the family, the younger generation began to ask questions and commissioned a University of Munich historian in 2014 to examine the Reimann history more thoroughly, Harf said. In addition to Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Pret a Manger, the Luxembourg-based JAB Holding has controlling stakes in Keurig Green Mountain, Peet's Coffee &Tea, Caribou Coffee Co., Panera Bread and other companies.
