The PRESENT Role of IG Farben, Bayer and Baxter! And their role at Auschwitz
A bit of history you may not know about:
The Baxter Corporation that is maneuvering to create a mandatory vaccine for everyone in North America is a subsidiary of American Home Products.
American Home Products is a direct progeny of the decartelized German drug and chemical combine known as I.G. Farben (that folks who invented and distributed Zyclon B: The gas used to kill Jews and others in Nazi Germany's FEMA camps, er concentration camps, er... happy camps...) .
I.G. Farben AND Bayer (the folks whose asperin you probably take) are companies that served Hitler with absolute devotion, including his genocides and Dr. Mangela's expermentatio on Human beings. These companies have taken part in direct genocide over the years.
And Baxter/I.G. Farben wants to require you and your kids to take their new "flu vaccine"!!!!!!
AND MOST PEOPLE GLADLY WILL!!!
Bayer, Baxter, and Rhone-Poulenc are infamously known for having infected more than 7,000 American hemophiliacs with the AIDS virus during the early 1980s. They admitted foreknowledge in selling HIV-tainted blood clotting products and settled the class action case for $100,000 per claimant.
Bayer and Hoechst
were formed following World War II from the "decartelization" of
Germany's leading industrial organization and Nazi economic engine—I.G. Farben.
...
Hermann Schmitz, president of Bayer A.G and I.G. Farben during WWII, who also largely directed the Deutsche Bank, from which the Rothchilde House emerged, "held as much stock in Standard Oil of New Jersey as did the Rockefellers," according to former CBS News war correspondent Paul Manning.
Just you know: THESE are the people the Kenyan Messiah is authorizing to save the US, Mexico and Canada!
Feel better now?
Auschwitz: 60 Year Anniversary-- the Role of IG Farben-Bayer Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005
SOURCE
Today marks the 60th anniversary of the Soviet liberation of the Nazi
death camp, Auschwitz. Elderly Holocaust survivors, former soldiers and
world leaders have gathered in Poland to mark the 60th anniversary: "I
would like to say to all the people on the Earth: This should never be
repeated, ever," said Maj. Anatoly Shapiro, 92, who led the first
Soviet troops to enter Auschwitz.
Lest we forget an
important corporate participant in the Holocaust - two excerpts shed
light on the role of IG Farben, ie. Bayer.
IG Farben
was the most powerful German corporate cartel in the first half of the
20th century and the single largest profiteer from the Second World
War. IG (Interessengemeinschaft) stands for "Association of Common
Interests": IG Farben included BASF, Bayer, Hoechst, and other German
chemical and pharmaceutical companies.
As documents
show, IG Farben was intimately involved with the human experimental
atrocities committed by Mengele at Auschwitz.
A German
watchdog organization, the GBG Network, maintains copious documents and
tracks Bayer Pharmaceutical activities.
Below is an
excerpt from a BBC documentary about an Auschwitz survivor who for
years tried to get compensation from the pharmaceutical giant that
carried out medical experiments on her. Now living in Dundee, Scotland,
she tells her story in a BBC documentary.
Another
excerpt is from the website of the Dr. Rath Health Foundation. Dr.
Matthias Rath heads a research development institute in nutritional and
Cellular Medicine conducting basic research and clinical studies to
scientifically document the health benefits of micronutrients in
fighting a multitude of diseases. Dr. Rath was born in Stuttgart,
Germany in 1955.
In the Auschwitz files, correspondence
between the camp commander and Bayer Leverkusen was discovered. It
dealt with the sale of 150 female prisoners for experimental purposes:
"With a view to the planned experiments with a new sleep-inducing drug
we would appreciate it if you could place a number of prisoners at our
disposal (...)" - "We confirm your response, but consider the price of
200 RM per woman to be too high. We propose to pay no more than 170 RM
per woman. If this is acceptable to you, the women will be placed in
our possession. We need some 150 women (...)" - "We confirm your
approval of the agreement. Please prepare for us 150 women in the best
health possible (...)" - "Received the order for 150 women. Despite
their macerated condition they were considered satisfactory. We will
keep you informed of the developments regarding the experiments (...)"
- "The experiments were performed. All test persons died. We will
contact you shortly about a new shipment (...)"

Medical Experiments in Auschwitz Conducted by I.G. Farben (from the
book "I.G. Farben - from Anilin to forced labor" by J�rg Hunger and
Paul Sander)
Unethical human experiments are a major
threat to vulnerable populations everywhere - including in the US
where, for example, the EPA is seeking to conduct pesticide exposure
experiments on children. The IG Farben culture continues to drive the
chemical-pharmaceutical industry. "Profit urber alles" - that means
ANYTHING goes - profit above all else.

About Bayer�s Nazi-past
IG Farben was the only German company in the Third Reich that ran its
own concentration camp. At least 30.000 slave workers died in this
camp; a lot more were deported to the gas chambers. It was no
coincidence that IG Farben built their giant new plant in Auschwitz,
since the workforce they used (altogether about 300.000 people) was
practically for free. The Zyklon B gas, which killed millions of Jews,
Gypsies and other people was produced by IG Farben�s subsidiary company
Degesch.
In Germany a growing number of people do not
understand that IG Farben�s successors Bayer, BASF and Hoechst still
refuse to apologize for their misdeeds. It is hard to accept that after
the war the companies were allowed to keep IG Farben�s entire property,
whereas the surviving slave workers received nothing. Until today
Bayer, BASF and Hoechst did not pay any wages to their former workers.
In 1995 the coalition "Never again!" was created by the German
Auschwitz Committee, Critical Shareholders and several organizations of
former slave workers. In a joint appeal the coalition demands that
there has to be an appropriate compensation by the companies for
slave-workers and their descendants. Also the maintenance of the
memorial at Auschwitz, which reminds the public of IG Farben�s victims,
should be paid by the corporations. "Never again!" states that without
verification of the past we always have to be present so that these
crimes might never happen again. More than 1,500 individuals and about
100 German groups have signed this platform. The activities were
organized by the Coalition against Bayer-dangers, a group that has
monitored Bayer for 25 years.
Life as a human guinea pig
For years an Auschwitz survivor has tried to win compensation from the
pharmaceutical giant that carried out medical experiments on her. Now
living in Dundee, she tells her story in a BBC documentary.
Zoe Polanska Palmer never imagined she would survive Dr Mengele's experiments in Auschwitz.
Nor did her German doctors. Like thousands of other children, she was
destined to be gassed once her usefulness to Nazi science had ceased.
During her two years at the camp, 13-year-old Zoe was forced to take
tablets and pills as part of a series of pharmacological experiments,
believed to be part of early birth control tests.
But
Zoe refused to die. Saved by a Russian doctor who evacuated her to
Dachau, she recovered and eventually settled in Scotland.
Now in her early 70s, she has been fighting for compensation and an apology from the German drug manufacturer, Bayer.
"I still find it difficult to take aspirin," she says. "I remember one
of the SS doctors holding my jaw open and forcing pills down my throat.
I'm still very wary of men wearing white coats."
Eyewitness testimonies held in the Auschwitz camp archive claim the
doctor who force-fed her pills worked for the pharmaceutical company
Bayer when it was part of the IG Farben conglomerate.
His name was Dr Victor Capesius. It's a name that Zoe can never forget.
He helped Dr Mengele to conduct genetic experiments, usually on
children, and also selected thousands of prisoners at the huge death
camp, choosing those who might be useful and sending the rest to an
immediate death with a flick of his finger.
Dr Capesius was tried in Frankfurt for war crimes in 1963 and served time in prison.
Another longtime Bayer employee, Helmut Vetter, also worked as a SS
doctor at Auschwitz. He was involved in the testing of experimental
vaccines and medicines on inmates and after the war he was executed for
administering fatal injections.
Denial of culpability
"The concentration camps were used as a huge laboratory for human
experimentation," says Wolfgang Eckhart, the Professor of Historical
Medicine at Heidelberg University.
"We have to look
upon the camps as outposts of pharmacological research. The Nazis
wanted to sterilise the population of the east, especially Russian
people, but enable them to continue to be useful as workers."
The pain has yet to heal
Bayer says the company which exists today has nothing to do with its
wartime counterpart. A spokesperson told the BBC: "Between 1925 and
1952, no company named Bayer existed, neither as a subsidiary of IG
Farben nor as any other legal entity.
"Bayer has worked
in good faith with the German government to establish a fund to help
those who have suffered. The company's contribution to this fund
amounted to more than �40m."
Damaged beyond repair
Although it is nearly 60 years since the end of World War II, for
survivors like Zoe the consequences of the war are as alive today as
they were in January 1945 when the Russian Army liberated Auschwitz.
After the war, Zoe married and settled in Scotland. There she underwent
several painful operations to repair the damage done to her body. But
she has never been able to have children. Now suffering from cancer,
she is a remarkably cheerful woman whose home in a quiet suburb is
punctuated with laughter from her jokes and tears from her memories.
When I first travelled to meet her in July 2002, she was angry that she
had been ignored for so long by the authorities managing the
compensation fund set up by German industry and the German government.
She had campaigned for 28 years but received nothing.
"They want us all to die so they won't have to pay out so much money," Zoe says.
Within weeks of the authorities being contacted by the BBC, Zoe
received a cheque for a little over �2,000 from the German compensation
fund.
"I want to make sure people remember what
happened to people like me when I was a child at Auschwitz," she says.
"I was just one of thousands of children treated in this way. But I was
one of the very few lucky ones who managed to survive." (By Mark
Handscomb, BBC Radio 4 reporter for It's My Story )
BAYER "Aryanized" Jewish Cemetery
Documents show that in 1942 IG Farben�s branch office in Uerdingen, Germany got hold of the town's Jewish cemetery.
The forced sale price was way below the actual market value: 100,000
square meter property for 3,000 Reichsmark. After the war the property
was passed on to IG Farben�s successor BAYER AG.
The
Nazis dissolved the Jewish Community of Uerdingen in 1942. Today all
traces of the Jewish cemetery in Uerdingen have been completely
obliterated. The city archive indicates that the cemetery was located
approximately where the main gate to the BAYER factory currently
stands.
The COALITION AGAINST BAYER-DANGERS demands
that the company publicly apologize for the defilement of the Uerdingen
cemetery and affix a memorial plaque to the main gate of the company�s
Uerdingen works.
Hans Frankenthal, former slave worker
in IG Farben�s plant in Auschwitz and board member of the Jewish
Community: "I was terrified when I learned from this offence against
Jewish belief. According to our faith, taking possession of the
cemetery without exhuming the bodies is tantamount to defiling the
graves."
BAYER today is living off the fruits of Nazi
legalism. On paper everything was legally correct: Julius Israel Kohn
from the "Association of Jews in the German Reich" and Bernhard
Hoffmann, the representative of IG Farben, signed the sales agreement
in a notary�s office, and the copy of this seemingly standard real
estate transaction has a stamp from the Krefeld tax office.
At the same time the former culprits are publicly honored in Uerdingen.
Fritz ter Meer served on the IG Farben board of directors from 1926 to
1945 and was the head officer directing the operations of the IG Farben
factory at Auschwitz. The Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal sentenced him
to seven years in prison.
He was released after serving
only four years. Not long after, in 1956, Ter Meer was elevated to the
chairman of the supervisory board at BAYER, a position he held for
seven years. His grave in Krefeld has a meter-high wreath on it -
donated by BAYER in recognition of his services.

Medical Experiments in Auschwitz Conducted by I.G. Farben (from the
book "I.G. Farben - from Anilin to forced labor" by J�rg Hunger and
Paul Sander)
Scientific experiments were also done in
other concentration camps. A decisive fact is that IG employee SS major
Dr. med. Helmuth Vetter, stationed in several concentration camps,
participated in these experiments by order of Bayer Leverkusen.
At the same time as Dr. Joseph Mengele, he experimented in Auschwitz
with medications that were designated "B-1012", B-1034", "3382" or
"Rutenol". The test preparations were not just applied to those
prisoners who were ill, but also to healthy ones. These people were
first infected on purpose through pills, powdered substances,
injections or enemas. Many of the medications caused the victims to
vomit or have bloody diarrhea. In most cases the prisoners died as a
result of the experiments.
In the Auschwitz files
correspondence was discovered between the camp commander and Bayer
Leverkusen. It dealt with the sale of 150 female prisoners for
experimental purposes: "With a view to the planned experiments with a
new sleep-inducing drug we would appreciate it if you could place a
number of prisoners at our disposal (...)" - "We confirm your response,
but consider the price of 200 RM per woman to be too high. We propose
to pay no more than 170 RM per woman. If this is acceptable to you, the
women will be placed in our possession. We need some 150 women (...)" -
"We confirm your approval of the agreement. Please prepare for us 150
women in the best health possible (...)" - "Received the order for 150
women. Despite their macerated condition they were considered
satisfactory. We will keep you informed of the developments regarding
the experiments (...)" - "The experiments were performed. All test
persons died. We will contact you shortly about a new shipment (...)"
A former Auschwitz prisoner testified: "There was a large ward of
tuberculars on block 20. The Bayer Company sent medications in unmarked
and unnamed ampoules. The tuberculars were injected with this. These
unfortunate people were never killed in the gas chambers. One only had
to wait for them to die, which did not take long (...) 150 Jewish women
that had been bought from the camp attendant by Bayer, (...) served for
experiments with unknown hormonal preparations."
Parallel to the tests by Behringwerke and Bayer Leverkusen the
chemical-pharmaceutical and serologic-bacteriological department at
Hoechst started experimenting on Auschwitz prisoners with their new
typhus fever preparation "3582". The first series of tests had results
that were far from satisfactory. Of the 50 test persons 15 died; the
typhus fever drug led to vomiting and exhaustion. Part of the
concentration camp Auschwitz was quarantined, which led to an extension
of the tests to the concentration camp in Buchenwald. In the journal of
the "department for typhus fever and viral research of the
concentration camp Buchenwald" we find on January 10th, 1943: "As
suggested by the IG Farbenindustrie A.G. the following were tested as
typhus fever medications: a) preparation 3582 of the chem.
pharm. and sero-bact. Department Hoechst - Prof. Lautenschl�ger and Dr.
Weber - (therapeutic test A), b) methylene blue, formerly tested on
mice by Prof. Kiekuth, Elberfeld (therapeutic test M)."
The first and also the second series of therapeutic tests, held in
Buchenwald between March 31st and April 11th 1943, had negative results
due to insufficient contamination of the tested prisoners. Neither did
the experiments in Auschwitz have evident successes.
The scientific value of all these experiments, whether ordered by the
IG Farben or not, was in fact zero. The test persons were in bad
physical condition, caused by forced labor, insufficient and wrong
nutrition and diseases in the concentration camp. Add to this the
generally bad sanitary circumstances in the laboratories. "The test
results in the concentration camps, as the IG laboratory specialists
should know, could not be compared to results made under normal
circumstances".
The SS physician Dr. Hoven testified to
this during the Nuremberg Trial: "It should be generally known, and
especially in German scientific circles, that the SS did not have
notable scientists at its disposal. It is clear that the experiments in
the concentration camps with IG preparations only took place in the
interests of the IG, which strived by all means to determine the
effectiveness of these preparations. They let the SS deal with the -
shall I say - dirty work in the concentration camps. It was not the
IG's intention to bring any of this out in the open, but rather to put
up a smoke screen around the experiments so that (...) they could keep
any profits to themselves. Not the SS but the IG took the initiative
for the concentration camp experiments.
