“The Bare History of Bayer”

Bayer, famous for its namesake aspirin, has an infamous Holocaust his-
tory largely unknown to contemporary generations. In the 1930s, Bayer
became part of Germany’s IG Farben chemical industry conglomerate,
which produced the Zyklon B gas used in the Nazi death camps to murder
millions of Jews. Bayer bought Jewish slaves from the Nazis for its own
experiments and used Mengele’s work for its commercial purposes. None-
theless, Bayer is now the leading global producer of pesticides and GMO
seeds. This class, presented by the Al Katz Center, begins at 1:00 p.m. via
Zoom. Cost: $10 per day or $50 per month for all classes. To RSVP and
receive the Zoom link, please call Beverly Newman at 941.313.9239.
