Yes, I can speak from personal experience on this. Its often been thought that there was a link between the phases of the moon and depression but so little research has been done on the subject. The few studies that have been done have proved inconclusive but then, these studies have been fundementally flawed. The results have been based on studying whether referrals from doctors for patients complaining of depression have increased in relation to the moon phases. Well, I have been affected by the full and new moons my whole life and I have never been to the doctors and I'm sure there are many people the same. Also, it is highly likely that many people who are affected by the moon are unaware of the moon connection as it manifests itself as short bouts of depression, so many people might simply dismiss it. It was only through a coincidence that I made the connection and even then I wasn't fully convinced until I bought myself a calender with the phases of the moon on and saw there was no mistaking the correlation. It may differ from person to person but for me it spans a five day period beginning five days before a full moon. The first day is by far the worst, and it is far more than just feeling a little down, its a complete change of personality. This feeling gets progressively less as the days go on until the actual night of the full moon when I just snap back to my old self. I would love to know if other people experience the same thing but like I said so little research has been done.

How did Jews in Germany thrive financially during the Great Depression?

The supposition underlying this question, namely that Jews were successful during the Great Depression, is untrue. The Jews did no better or worse during the Great Depression than did the average German. Hitler, and the Nazis in general, capitalized on the German people's ignorance of their own neighbors' suffering. The sad thing is that Nazi propaganda and Anti-Semitic propaganda is so strong that people continue to believe that the Jews were better off during this period when they were not.
