“Berlin’s Jewish memorial halted after firm linked with supply of Nazi gas”

A Holocaust memorial in Berlin to Europe’s 6 million murdered Jews was at the centre of huge embarrassment last night after it emerged that one of its German construction firms had supplied Zyklon B used in Nazi gas chambers.

The memorial’s board of trustees ordered an abrupt halt to the project following revelations that the German company Degussa was connected with the supply of gas used in Nazi concentration camps. The firm had been awarded a contract to cover the memorial’s 2,700 concrete pillars in a graffiti-proof coating.
