  1. Dehomag and the Holocaust-era data-processing system

    Dehomag’s supply and maintenance of punched-card equipment for Nazi German institutions has been scrutinized because the regime used census, population, and administrative data to identify and persecute Jews, dissidents, and other targeted groups. Related IBM-controlled operations also supported wartime transport administration in occupied Poland. The historical controversy concerns both the practical contribution of data-processing systems to persecution and the responsibility of IBM’s international corporate organization.
