‘IBM and the Holocaust’

Edwin Black, author of “IBM and the Holocaust,” writing at BESA Center in 2021:

The IBM alliance with the Third Reich was no rogue corporate operation run out of a basement. Day in and day out, it was Watson who personally micromanaged all aspects of the 12-year Nazi relationship. The relationship began just after January 30, 1933—the first moments of the Third Reich—and ended in the first week of May 1945, the last gasp of Hitler’s regime.

Thomas Watson Sr. was IBM’s CEO.

I don’t know what made me think of this today.
