:35:07
Now this is a typical
prisoner card.
:35:10
There are little boxes
:35:12
where all the information
is to be punched in.
:35:13
We compare this information
to the code sheet
:35:15
for concentration camps.
:35:17
And here you see
Auschwitz is one
:35:18
Buchenwald is two
:35:20
and Dachau is three.
:35:22
Now what kinds of
prisoners were they?
:35:24
They could be a Jehovahs
witness for two
:35:26
a homosexual for three
a communist for six
:35:30
or a Jew for eight.
:35:32
Now what was their stats?
:35:33
One was released
two was transferred
:35:37
four was executed
:35:39
five was suicide
:35:41
and six.
Code six
:35:43
Sonderbahandlung
:35:45
special treatment
:35:47
meant the gas chamber
or sometimes a bullet.
:35:51
They would punch
that number in
:35:53
the material was tabulated
:35:54
and the machines were set.
:35:56
And of course the
punch cards by the millions
:36:00
had to be printed.
:36:01
And they were printed
exclusively by IBM
:36:04
and the profits were
recovered just after the war
:36:09
I really do believe that
particular accusation
:36:12
has been fairly discredited
as a serious accusation.
:36:16
They used equipment
:36:18
that is a fact
but how they got it
:36:25
how much co operation
they got
:36:27
and any kind
of collusion
:36:28
trying to connect dots
that are not connected
:36:30
I think thats the part
that is discredited.
:36:35
Generally you sell computers
:36:39
and they are used
in a variety of ways
:36:41
and you always
hope they are
:36:43
using the more
positive ways possible.
:36:46
If you ever found out
theyre used in ways
:36:48
that are not positive
:36:50
then you would hope you
would stop supporting that
:36:54
but you know do
you always know?
:36:56
Can you always tell?
:36:57
Can you always find out?
