This article focuses on the German Industrial Fair which opened at the Museum of Science and Industry in New York City on April 9, 1949. Two German products will be conspicuously absent from the fair, "Cyklon B" and "Persil." Cyklon B is a hydrocyanic-acid product made before and during the war by a firm called Degesch, a subsidiary of I.G. Farben AG, the dye trust. Persil is a soap powder long popular in Europe for laundering and bleaching duty linen. Before the war it was advertised everywhere; the name was even spread across the German sky by airplanes. In 1945, when the denazification law was imposed upon them, the Germans remembered Persil.
