Acquire Today IBM And The Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance Between Nazi Germany And Americas Most Powerful CorporationBlack, Edwin Narrated By Edwin Black Disseminated As EReader Version
Edwin Black's monumental research exposes
how IBM and its subsidiaries helped create enablling technologies for the Nazis, step by step, from the identification and cataloging programs of thes to the selections of thes.
Very well documented, and surprising, His sometimes obsessive detailed research is convincing and shocking, A good read. Please buy it! This book was an eye opener to me because I did not know that IBM were so intimately involved with the Holocaust.
They supplied the punch cards and machinery to run the census that identified the Jews of Europe and then the timetables running the railways on time.
The European profits garnered were returned to IBM after the war!This is a very well researched book with an in depth view of the subject that was completed without help from the subject company.
Edwin Black lost grandparents in Poland but did not use the book as a vehicle to attack those culpable, A 'must read' for all who bow down to big business ethics of profit overriding everything else, This book was bought as a gift, . about the tenth copy I've give away, It is a tremendous work that everyone should read and keep The book provides a clear picture of a corporate driven by one man to his own ends.
Some modern companies have done this, I have read the Tom Watson life story in another book before but there was never detail like this about this period.
Amazing how the company and the man made it through the war as they did, They didn't have problems with their "Chads" or did they I guess almost all multinational companies of all countries who have histories spanning major wars and upheavals will have stories in their corporate closets they would prefer to forget.
So it is good to to ba able to hear about them, Are todays companies morally any better, or inyears time will people be reading about skeletons in the closets of todays behemoths Hopefully nothing ever again on the scale of the extermination of the Jews in the Holecaust.
