SUMMARY
The Wilhelm Reich Museum (operated by the Wilhelm Reich Infant Trust, the body his 1957 will established to run Orgonon) is the subject's own affiliated institution, so it is used here only for operational and chronological facts that are independently corroborated elsewhere in this bundle (dates of the 1954 injunction, the 1956 trial and sentences, the August 1956 book-burning in New York City, and the March-November 1957 imprisonment and death at Lewisburg), never for evaluative characterization of the claims' validity. Fetched directly; page title 'Biography of Dr. Wilhelm Reich - Wilhelm Reich Museum' confirmed from the HTML <title> element. Contains a verbatim quotation of Reich's February 1954 letter to the trial judge, used in the case body and logged in a verify-quotes block in the grounding log.
NOTES
The Wilhelm Reich Museum’s institutional biography of Reich, fetched directly. Because the Museum is operated by the Trust his own will established, it is treated here as a subject-affiliated source: used only for chronological and procedural facts (injunction date, trial date and sentences, the book-burning, the imprisonment and death dates) that are independently corroborated by the FDA’s own Notice of Judgment record, the CourtListener case record, and the law.jrank.org trial account, never as authority for any evaluative claim about “orgone energy” itself. Also the source of a verbatim quotation of Reich’s letter to the trial judge (Judge Clifford), logged in a verify-quotes block in the grounding log.
