For years, it has been generally accepted that Gotlieb Daimler and Carl Benz built the worlds first automobile. But the truth is that the worlds first automobile was built by an Austrian Jew, Siegfried Marcus, and for forty years, European schoolchildren were taught that he was a the inventor of the car, and statues and plaques to honor him were erected in Vienna. Then, the Nazis came to power, and they rewrote history: all references to Marcus were erased, his statue and plaques were destroyed, and Mercedes-Benz was notified by the Nazi high command that, henceforth, they would be recognized as the inventors of the car. This article is fascinating to anyone with an interest in the history of the automobile.
