This deserves a response, although it's mostly all laid out in Wikipedia. Eysenck was born in Germany but moved to England because of his strong opposition to the Nazis. Lorenz had a clear Nazi past and some of his writings were slanted to support Nazi ideas of racial superiority. When these disreputable views of his were revealed much later, he apologized. It would have been more sincere had he come forward himself to retract them before he was outed. Ironically, Lorenz's friend and colleague was the Dutch/British ethologist Niko Tinbergen. Tinbergen was imprisoned by the Nazis after courageously protesting the dismissal from Leiden University of three Jewish colleagues.
