Diamond industry back to Antwerp in postwar revival
Antwerp resumes control of much of the world diamond market as war years end. In 1945 Antwerp exported nearly $20 million in diamonds with recovery accelerating in early 1946. Industry leaders like Rudelsheim and Polak tout Belgian craft and a 500 year tradition guiding a largely closed, high wage workforce. The Belgian Congo remains a major rough diamond source, while wartime casualties and Gestapo captivity mark a grim toll.
