NOTE: Bart Frederick, a passenger on the downed Comair
flight, was recently promoted at AVENTIS, and I have

Nazi Holocaust history. What I didn't know was that
WARREN BUFFETT BOUGHT INTO AVENTIS A FEW MONTHS BEFORE
THE CRASH. This is one of several (so far) ties
between the Comair disaster and Warren Buffett. - AC

of most of its assets, which were transferred to the

BBC News | EUROPE | Nazi slave cash dismissed as
'gesture'
Former Nazi slave Rudy Kennedy was only 15 when he was
taken to Auschwitz. "Most of the banks contributing to
the payment fund will be supplying more in this year's
Christmas bonuses to their senior staff than to the
entire group of survivors of the Nazi regime," he
claims.
"I was taken as a 15-year-old with my family from
Breslau in Poland to Auschwitz... My mother and my
sister were gassed immediately but my father and
myself were allowed to work. I was owned by the SS and
they hired us out to big companies such as Hoechst,
BASF, Agfa and Bayer. My father managed to stay alive
about eight weeks."
