In what is the first legal action of its kind, a class action lawsuit has been filed in a U.S. federal court against the German chemical and pharmaceutical giant Bayer AG alleging that the company assisted Joseph Mengele in his gruesome experiments on concentration camp inmates then used the results to develop new products. This is the first Holocaust lawsuit to allege that a company was actively involved in carrying out Nazi war crimes other than the use of concentration camp inmates as slave labor. Kor et al. v. Bayer AG, No. TH99-036-C (SD IN, Feb. 17, 1999).
