Working drawings for the Curta calculator were created by Curt Herzstark while a prisoner in Buchenwald concentration camp.
It doesn’t sound as if Herzstark and Brunn (the Old Bay guy) were there at the same time, though.

No kidding! We had about 70 years of more and more Jewish scientists making profound, fundamental scientific discoveries in central Europe. Even with how many were killed in the Holocaust, this is still a group that is way overrepresented among Nobel laureates and world chess champions. It’s also a group with IQ ~15 points higher than the global average (and several related genetic diseases; this is both heritable and cultural).
