Sailing to Gaza is the wealthy heiress of Zyklon B, a well-known figure
In the heart of Europe, a stirring controversy has arisen as Marlene Engelhorn, an Austrian heiress, prepares to set sail on the next watery virtue-signal headed to Gaza. Engelhorn hails from the Engelhorn family, a dynasty with a dark and troubling history, as they were linked to the production of Zyklon B gas, a cyanide used by the Nazis to exterminate millions of Jews during the Holocaust.
The Engelhorn family's most direct connection to the Holocaust is through Friedrich Engelhorn, the founder of the German chemicals giant, BASF. BASF merged with IG Farben in the 1920s, a company infamous for producing the poisonous gas used by the Nazis to try to wipe the Jews from the face of the Earth. IG Farben held the patent and production of Zyklon B through its subsidiary, Degesch.
Other companies involved in Zyklon B's supply chain included Dessauer Werke and Kaliwerke Kolin for production, and Tesch & Stabenow (Testa) for distribution. The gas was sold to the SS, which used it primarily for mass murder in camps like Auschwitz.
Marlene Engelhorn, a key figure in Europe's anti-Israel protests, is criticized for being an 'anti-Israel' nepo baby whose family wealth comes in part from Nazi Germany's 'mass murder of Jews'. Hen Mazzig, a commentator, has condemned her actions, stating that her family's wealth is tainted by the atrocities committed during the Holocaust.
As Marlene Engelhorn embarks on her journey to Gaza, questions about historical responsibility and moral accountability loom large. The sinister projection on to the world's only Jewish nation of the crime Europe itself committed against the Jews is being witnessed, as some Euro-leftists dream of 'future Nurembergs' to deal with Israel's leaders and gab excitedly about future genocide museums devoted to the horrors in Gaza.
This disturbing trend of Israelophobia among young Europeans, particularly young Germans, appears to offer a chance to unburden themselves of feelings of historical guilt. The moral demotion of the Jews and the moral absolution of Europe is the end result of falsely and deliriously elevating this bloody war Hamas started to the same level as the Holocaust.
In conclusion, as Marlene Engelhorn sails towards Gaza, she carries not only her family's fortune but also a heavy burden of history. The Engelhorn family, through their connection to IG Farben and BASF, played a direct role in the Holocaust, producing Zyklon B gas that was used in Nazi extermination camps. This legacy casts a long shadow over Marlene Engelhorn's actions and raises serious questions about the moral compass of those who seek to condemn Israel while ignoring their own history.

- The engagement in politics by Marlene Engelhorn, a wealthy heiress with a questionable legacy, has sparked debates about free speech and cancel culture, as critics argue that her participation in anti-Israel protests undermines the importance of learning from history, particularly the atrocities of the Holocaust.
- The connection of the Engelhorn family to the production of Zyklon B gas, a poison used by the Nazis during the Holocaust, is a stark reminder of the deep-rooted ties between European politics and culture, and the dark chapters of the past, such as identity politics and general-news events like the Holocaust.
- The promotion of the "future Nurembergs" and the discussion of genocide museums dedicated to Gaza by some Euro-leftists is a worrying development in the realm of politics and culture, as it trivializes the Holocaust and demonstrates a disregard for the lessons learned from that tragic period in history.
