    I was reading about the I.G. Farben Trial in Nuremberg and from there was reading about the camp next to Auschwitz ..... it's painful reading ( as documents show ) that IG Farben was intimately involved with the human experimental atrocities committed by Mengele at Auschwitz.

    I. G. Farben

    This German company built its own camp next to the main Auschwitz camp. Called I. G. Farben, Auschwitz, it was built to produce synthetic rubber and in 1943, 118,600 tons were produced. At least 50,000 prisoners died during its construction from starvation and exposure to the cold. In its foundations lie the bodies of many prisoners who were buried where they fell, in the wet cement. The gas, Zyklon B, (Hydrocyanic acid) was produced by I.G. Farben's subsidiary company 'Degesch'.
