Israel GDP per capita overtakes Germany

SOURCE. 

This is the time to remember my friend Benno Gitter, who dedicated his life to Israel's economic independence (and making much money).

 Benno Gitter lied that he was born in Amsterdam in 1919. In fact, he was Romanian. In 1942 he and his family fled to Argentina, where he resumed his career in the leather business. In 1954 he emigrated to Israel. Since then he has been closely involved with the economy and industry of Israel, especially the Israel Discount Bank Group and CLAL, of which he was co-founder and with Tel Aviv University.
