    IG Farben trial and wartime conduct

    Managers associated with IG Farben, including personnel connected with Hoechst operations, were prosecuted after the war over the use of forced labor and the testing of drugs on concentration-camp prisoners. The proceedings concerned the wider IG Farben system rather than a standalone postwar Hoechst corporation, but they are a significant part of the company's historical legacy.
