I just read a shocking article in the jpost written by Edwin Black. Text
It alleges shocking facts about post-WWI American support given to budding Nazism and Hitler, and that some major American institutions were even the inspiration for Nazism. A quick summary of some of the points:
- Henry Ford presented the German Eagle, one of the highest medals of honor by Hitler's Third Reich for Ford's contributions to the Reich
- The Carnegie Institution creating Eugenics, the pseudo-scientific basis of a blue-eyed blond-haired Nordic/Aryan master race, and then paying millions of dollars in post-WWI Germany to inculcate those ideas in German society
- "Hitler was so steeped in American race science that he even wrote a fan letter to American eugenic leader Madison Grant, calling his writing 'my bible.'"
- Eugenics laws in 27 U.S. states
- 60,000 American people forcibly sterilized for racial reasons, supported by US Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes -- "'It is better for all the world,' Holmes wrote, 'if, instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind.'"
- The Rockefeller Foundation funded the heinous human medical experimentation of Hitler's twin experimentation programs on twins
- GM knowingly facilitated the blitzkreig -- 'Sloan and GM knowingly prepared the Wehrmacht to wage war in Europe. Detroit even secretly moved massive stores of spare Blitz parts to the Polish border in the days just before the September 1, 1939, invasion to facilitate the Blitzkrieg'.
- GM's chief executive, James Mooney, received the same medal as Ford, awarded for special service to the Reich
- IBM knowingly custom-designed punch cards, databases, and massive computers for Hitler and the Nazis to systematically identify, ghettoize, and destroy Germany's Jews.
- Nazi railroads to transport the Jews were managed by IBM punchcards. IBM systems designed to systematically tabulate the results of the genocide.
- IBM systems designed to match the labor skills of Jewish prisoners to the slavery needs of the labor camps in which Jews were worked to death.
- an IBM customer site in every concentration camp
- "Had it not been for the continued conscious involvement of iconic American corporations in Hitler's war against the Jews, the speed, shape and statistics of the Holocaust as we know it would have been dramatically different. No one knows how different, but the astronomical dimensions could have never been achieved."
The writer is The New York Times best-selling investigative author of IBM and the Holocaust, and the just released Nazi Nexus: America's Corporate Connections to Hitler's Holocaust (Dialog Press). He can be reached at www.nazinexus.com.
I'm absolutely shocked. Are these things true? Anyone have any light to shed on this? I'm not one to believe conspiracy theory, and this certainly alleges collusion and cover-up by American companies. But there's just too much detail here for this to be a simple invention. Is this true?
