Thank you for posting this. If nothing else, it caused me to look deeper into the subject of Zyklon-B. One tidbit from Wikipedia [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zyklon_B ] alone is interesting:
"From 1929 onwards the U.S. used Zyklon B to disinfect the freight trains and clothes of Mexican immigrants entering the US.[13] Farm Securities Administration photographer Marion Post Wolcott recorded the use of cyanide gas and Zyklon B by the Public Health Service at the New Orleans Quarantine Station during the 1930s.[14]"
13. Spike, Paul (2007-05-31). "How America inspired the Third Reich.". The First Post. Retrieved 2008-09-12.
Note, too, that it is still produced: "Zyklon B is still in production in the Czech Republic in the factory Draslovka KolÃn a.s. in the city KolÃn under the tradename Uragan D2, sold for eradicating insects and small animals. Czech word uragan means "hurricane" or "cyclone" in English. [22][23]"
