BAYER PROUD OF IT'S HISTORY

We at Bayer are proud of our history. 1863 F. Bayer and j:F. Weskott opened a modes dyeworks by the name of Friedr. Bayer & Co. in Wuppertal-Barmen. 1899 We invented and registered Aspirin[R] as a trademark and became the world's favorite pain killer. 1940 We formed I.G. Farben and played the deadly Nazi-Game so that the company was seized and broken apart by the Allies. 1940 We were the only commpany in Nazi Germany to run our own concentration camp. 1940 about 30.000 slave workers died in our camp; we had more deported to gas chambers. 194 We even produced the Zyclon B killergas that killed the other millions of so-called minorities. NOW: WE REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES, WHEN WE DID NOT HAVE TO PAY OUR WORKES, AND COULD KILL THE WEIRD ONES. NOW This is why we never paid them slave workers a dime, but kept all the nazi-gained wealth to ourselves. So why should we at Bayer, BASF & Hoechst apologize for a Nazi-history that has given us so much? LOVE US OR LEAVE US. WE ARE THE PAIN AND THE KILLER IN YOUR ASPIRIN.
