Did Jewish scientists that fled Nazi Germany and Nazi scientists that came to the US as a result of Operation Paperclip ever work together? What were their interactions like?

Operation Paperclip gets a lot of questions, so more answers related to it are welcome, but I believe you may enjoy this previous answer by /u/snuffbird which discusses reactions at a national level, and this previous answer by /u/hannahstohelit which approaches at a local level.

Many Jewish groups, and Albert Einstein as an example, fiercely opposed Operation Paperclip and the immigration of German scientists and war criminals into the United States.

By and large that opposition was embarrassing and an annoyance to the United States government, and on occasion it resulted in a German scientist losing privileges or being returned to Germany or another country.

In the book "Operation Paperclip" there is no record of Jewish scientists working with Operation Paperclip scientists. However, Operation paperclip scientists didn't wear Nazi badges advertising their status in the United States, so Jewish scientists may well have worked next to Nazi scientists without being aware of it.
