Extremely interesting account of how IBM worked with the Nazis to count and catalouge the Jews. IBM maintained databases of the Jews; how many, personal data, which ones were strong enough to work, which ones should be exterminated, etc.

I read it about ten years ago; I thought it was a terrific and scary book. Since reading it, though I'm somewhat to the left of Stalin, I always have second thoughts about filling out census forms.
