As punch cards pierced the protective shield of non-Aryans, American business oligarchs sounded the death knell for European Jewry. Why did the massacre happen? How did it happen on such a large scale in a short period of time? Why were the victims accurately identified? Why did IBM form an alliance with the Nazis? Is this the distortion and abuse of human rights politics or the interest game in the speculative economy? How was IBM's advanced technology introduced to Europe? How are frozen funds transferred out of German-occupied Europe? What kind of opportunity did the U. S. State Department become the personal postman for IBM's European business? Historians have always been amazed by the efficiency and accuracy with which the Nazis identified European Jews, but until now, the mystery has not been fully solved. Only by accurately identifying the Jews could Hitler effectively impose asset confiscation, segregation, deportation, enslavement and ultimately genocide. This task is a great list and organization challenge and requires a computer to complete. But in the 1930s, computers had not yet been born. To this end, as a leader in modern information technology, IBM did not hesitate to create an "Aryan" identity, and helped Hitler accelerate the massacre process with a specially designed and continuously updated Hollerith punch card system. In fact, the technology provided by IBM was used to organize almost everything related to Germany and later occupied Europe, from the Jewish census and ancestry certification to the use of the railway system and the organization of concentration camp labor. Only with the technical support of IBM could Hitler achieve such a large-scale massacre. Now, Edwin Blake has revealed the final mystery of Germany's massacre of the Jews.
