As long as there have been men, there have been crimes
against humanity. 
There is much to be encouraged about. These are grim
subjects and I am not pleased to see another President Bush,
but I am very encouraged by what is happening in Education. 



It is partly the "recent surge of class-action suits in
American courts seeking restitution for plundered assets and
labor" that is the cause of advances in scholarship and
widening access to information about I G Farben in the Nazi
era. For example, "documents being used by Stephen Lindner,
who is preparing the study of Hoechst, indicate that both I
and the Nurnberg Military Tribunal were fooled concerning
Farben's participation in testing medical preparations on
concentration camp inmates. Far from having ceased to supply
SS doctors with such products upon learning that the
subjects had been purposely infected, the leading managers
at Hoechst continued their cooperation into December 1944,
in complete awareness not only of the compulsory nature of
the subjects' involvement but also of the terrible mortality
rates in earlier rounds of testing, and hence the murderous
futility of repeating them."
