DEVELOPING: Weleda Launches Urgent Probe into Nazi Camp Skin Test Allegations

Weleda Launches Urgent Probe into Nazi Camp Skin Test Allegations Natural cosmetics company Weleda has launched an investigation into its links to a Nazi concentration camp, following allegations that an anti-freeze cream it produced was tested on prisoners. The probe comes after historian Anne Sudrow's report alleged that the Swiss company ordered raw materials from a garden in the Dachau camp. Weleda has acknowledged the new findings "may not have been fully explored in previous research" and condemned the Nazi regime's atrocities. However, the company claims a separate 2023 report found no evidence of human experiments involving its cream. Dachau concentration camp was set up by the Nazis in 1933 and is estimated to have held around 200,000 prisoners, with over 40,000 deaths attributed to medical experiments before its liberation in 1945. Weleda's investigation will focus on verifying the allegations and determining the extent of any involvement.
