Author Edwin Black will make his latest appearance on C-Span’s Book TV on May 16 at 7 pm EST and again on May 23 at 2:15 pm EST. This time his presentation covers his new book Nazi Nexus. The book details the direct corporate complicity in the Holocaust undertaken by five leading American commercial icons: Ford Motor Co., General Motors, the Carnegie Institution, the Rockefeller Foundation, and of course International Business Machines.
The author maintains that when one connects the dots, the emerging picture makes clear that while there always would have been a “Hitler Holocaust,” American corporate involvement pivotally influence the size and scope of the genocide. Or as the author stated in a recent series of syndicated articles: “Adolf Hitler was completely responsible for the Holocaust. But Hitler had help.”
Black’s C-SPAN appearance recorded several weeks earlier at the Park East Synagogue in New York before a leading grass-roots Holocaust survivor group known as NAHOS—the National Association of Jewish Child Holocaust Survivors. Black’s event was cosponsored by the State of California Center for the Study of the Holocaust, and a coalition of other groups, as well the Spero Forum, the Auto Channel, Energy Publisher, and History Network News.
After the book lecture, Black conducted a dramatic, no-holds-barred question-answer session with Holocaust survivors on a range of Holocaust-era issues. The author was given a standing ovation at the end of the presentation.
Newsweek called the research woven into the book, “Simple and Stunning.” The Miami Herald called Nazi Nexus “Powerful and Astounding.”
