IG Farben

IG Farben was a major German chemical and pharmaceutical company, founded in 1925, known for producing a wide range of chemicals, including dyes, plastics, and medicines. It became one of the largest and most powerful industrial firms in Europe. During World War II, IG Farben supplied chemicals to the Nazi regime and was involved in controversial activities, including the use of forced labor and connection to the Holocaust. After the war, the company was broken up due to its wartime crimes. Today, its legacy is remembered as a complex example of industrial prosperity intertwined with ethical issues during a dark period in history.
