Being Jewish, Fabry had attempted to flee from the Nazis, but was arrested and held in a detention camp in Belgium. After the war, Fabry migrated to the United States, eventually moving to Berkeley where he became an editor for the University of California Press.

As long as we treat human beings as animals that can be trained, and machines that can be manipulated, we make them into animals and machines.
