New Evidence of Alleged I.B.M. Holocaust Role
Investigative reporter Edwin Black, the author of a book published last year entitled ``IBM and the Holocaust'', puts forward further evidence to support his claims of IBM's knowledge and complicity in Nazi operations in wartime Poland in the paperback version to be published this week.

Historians working as part of Black's research team said that in the paperback they had pieced together the previously fragmented story of IBM's role in supplying the organizational machinery used to transport millions of people to Polish death camps.

Black and his researchers said recently discovered Nazi government documents in the U.S. National Archives and Polish eyewitness testimony link IBM's U.S. operations directly to the operations of the Third Reich in occupied Poland.

``The word has gotten out and a lot of people still alive are supplying information that they didn't have the context to understand before,'' said Robert Wolfe, an expert on Nazi records and former chief of captured German government documents for the U.S. National Archives.
