Arbeit macht frei - Work makes you free. Such a deceitful motto for a concentration camp.

When the inmates were herded into the "showers" they were told they were just going to get clean but they were instead gassed with Zircon-B made by the famous Bayer company. You may have Bayer aspirin in your medicine cabinet.

Not exactly correct. Bayer made up 27.4% of a conglomerate that owned a 42% stake in the company that manufactured Zyklon B.

BASF was another party to the merger and shares of the conglomerate were traded as BASF shares. Bayer didn't come back into existence as a separate company until the allies split the company back up in the early 50's.

Allies stole the patent after the war

quote:

After the United States entered the war against Germany in April 1917, the Alien Property Custodian, a government agency that administers foreign property, seized Bayer's U.S. assets. Two years later, the Bayer company name and trademarks for the United States and Canada were auctioned off and purchased by Sterling Products Company, later Sterling Winthrop, for $5.3 million.
