Describing the Curta calculator as having been made “in Austria starting in the 1930s” is a wild way to gloss over the fact that its creator, Curt Herzstark, was a prisoner in the Buchenwald concentration camp and was forced to design and manufacture it for the Nazi forces[1].

This article, which starts by lamenting the “injustice” of “expansionist” historians, sure makes an interesting effort to ignore the actual history of one of its subjects.
