Ibm's Dark Chapter - Industry Trend or Event - Brief Article

Industry Standard, The, Feb 26, 2001

A new book, IBM and the Holocaust by Edwin Black, alleges that IBM colluded with German officials to customize the punch-card technology that helped identify and arrange the transportation of millions of Jews to concentration camps. The day before the book's release, five holocaust survivors filed a class-action suit against IBM, seeking unspecified damages.

The firm representing the survivors recently settled a similar case against several Swiss banks for $1.25 billion.
