[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) Just curious, what did they do? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Delphia@lemmy.world 12 points 3 years ago (3 children) They did what they were told and didnt argue. Same as Hugo Boss made SS uniforms, a lot of german people and companies at the time just went along. Even if they didnt wholeheartedly swallow the propaganda, even if they quietly hated the Nazi regime, they saw those that spoke out beaten, killed or straight up vanish. Some of the companies willingly stuck their heads in the sand and just went along because they knew that to resist was to mark yourself, and to cooperate was to profit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) Oh I knew what BMW did, I was just asking about IBM permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] fabian@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago There is a book about it: IBM and the holocaust. here is a summary, hopefully not paywalled. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 years ago (2 children) Yeah that is some great info, but what does IBM has to do with Nazi? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] fabian@lemmy.world 9 points 3 years ago (1 child) There is a book about it: IBM and the holocaust. here is a summary, hopefully not paywalled. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 years ago That is atrocious.
