It has been over 50 years since Adolf Hitler took his life in a small underground bunker near Berlin. And while, for many, the Holocaust that he planned and executed against the Jewish population of Europe is a thing of the past -- a dark chapter of our history that serves a reminder of man's inhuman potential -- for others, it is a subject of unrelinquished sorrow and tireless investigation.

It is in the latter camp that we find Edwin Black, author of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated international bestseller IBM and the Holocaust. The book, which documents IBM's direct links to Hilter and his so-called 'Final Solution' by providing the Third Reich with census machines and punch card technology, caused IBM to issue a formal statement claiming that the Nazis controlled the operations of IBM Germany during the war. But Edwin's research shows that Thomas J. Watson, founder and president of IBM during the company's financial relationship with the Nazis, exercised more hands-on control of the operation than they care to admit.

In his Guerrilla News directorial debut, Paul Shore interviews the author and deploys GNN's trademark design aesthetic in what is sure to be one of the most controversial documentaries about U.S. corporate complicity with the Nazi regime.

@RondoVenezianoHere um .... jews didnt bobm hiroshima or nagasaki. your a moron .. nuff said.

[Purely0Fate]

@TookUpTheCause and where did you get those statistics? A neo-nazi website im guessing. or Wikipedea. How about you get your facts from a realiable source until you make broad claims. Also the red cross was never present it was completley run by nazis and sometimes prisoners who where promised higher privilages for helping. Hitler wouldnt have trusted an international source on such a matter

[Purely0Fate]

@Jimster666 also the rest of the deaths where usually caused by starvation and shootings in towns. So the thought of death camps being the only cause of deaths is very wrong.

@gordonjoe1 key word: "wikipeadea" dont believe everything u see on that. and besides most of the deaths on the palestinian side .. including the children are from suicide bombing ... how about yo u get your facts right
