New I attended a lecture Wernher von Braun gave at MIT auditorium sometime between 1957-1959.
It must have been after October 1957 when the Russians put up Sputnik 1, the first ever man-made satellite.

He was impressive. But, there was a Jewish guy in the auditorium who, during question time, brought up his contribution to the Nazi military rockets.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov
