Edwin Black In Conversation with Yossie Hollander

Sunday, November 16, 12 - 2 p.m.

Investigative journalist Edwin Black reveals IBM's crucial role in Nazi Germany's genocide. Starting 1933, IBM's technology helped the Third Reich identify and catalog victims, enabling the Holocaust's massive scale. Black uncovers how Hitler accessed victim data through this alliance, solving a major historical mystery.

Edwin Black is an American historian and author, as well as a syndicated columnist, investigative journalism, and weekly talk show host on the The Edwin Black Show.
