In his youth, Konrad actively worked against Hitler and other Nazis and was a member of the Stauffenberg resistance group. After the war and with aid from the Marshall Plan, he became a Coca Cola distributor in the German state of Baden-W&uuml;rttemberg. As his retirement neared, he decided to do something to combat current forms of neo-Nazism and bigotry in Germany, which inspired him to provide the Amadeu Antonio Foundation with &euro; 1 million in seed funding. The Foundation&rsquo;s work additionally enjoys the support of the German federal government, large foundations and German and international companies.<\/p>\n
