IBM & the Holocaust tells of IBM's strategic alliance with Nazi Germany—beginning in 1933, the first weeks after Hitler came to power, and continuing into WWII. The book discusses how IBM's Hollerith punch card technology helped organize census data, registrations, and other information crucial to Nazi operations, facilitating the identification, tracking, and persecution of Jews. It details how IBM leased machines and supplied punch cards, becoming a key technical partner in the Holocaust. The narrative also explores the corporate collusion, deniability strategies, and human drama involving IBM founder Thomas Watson, revealing how IBM's technology enabled Hitler's genocidal plans.
