Part 2/11:
One particularly eye-opening example involves Marlene Engelhorn, heiress to a vast fortune inherited from her grandmother, who belonged to a German industrial dynasty that once profited from producing Zyklon B—the gas used in Nazi extermination camps.

This juxtaposition raises questions about the motivations behind her activism and whether her wealth enables her to pursue causes regardless of their moral implications.
