Comment on Konrad Zuse Museum shutting down due to lack of fundingparent

Comments

Initially received funding, later in the war they turned it off as "not war worthy"

You might be surprised how many UK and US scientists of that time supported eugenics, see for example https://nautil.us/how-eugenics-shaped-statistics-238014

and as for computers and atrocities, see IBM's history from the time or perhaps some more recent tech companies.

Few of us are saints.

You'll find that the computing pioneers we celebrate by name are largely detached from the examples you mentioned.
