5.0 out of 5 stars
A chilling read., May 3, 2009
This review is from: Nazi Nexus: America's Corporate Connections to Hitler's Holocaust (Paperback)
Edwin Black's book clearly shows the awful lows to which man can stoop in pursuit of money, power and influence. It also tells us that although the holocaust was a horror committed by the Nazi's, it was also facilitated by others, including those far too close to home.
But this book also shows us that it is a mistake to believe that money was the only motivating force to this business, as some of those involved obviously shared in their anti-semitic hatred.
The anti-semitism given full expression in the holocaust is not something which begins and ends with the Nazi's, but has spanned generations, and borders.
A very valuable work that will only add to your understanding of the path to Holocaust.

Required Reading, March 15, 2009
This review is from: Nazi Nexus: America's Corporate Connections to Hitler's Holocaust (Paperback)
This book should be required reading for many programs (business, medicine, social sciences, etc...). Dr. Black has done an amazing job of summarizing several of his books. After reading Nazi Nexus, you will want to obtain and read some of his books that are more comprehensive. On the emotional side of things, I would also warn professors using this book to spend a little time with students examining the shock many will feel while they read this. My own area is criminal justice and this book would work in many courses, e.g. organized crime, white-collar crime, etc...Dr. Black combines history, sociology, criminology, and economics into an integrated approach that has major implications for future policy. I will be reading War Against the Weak next.

Its time we knew the truth, February 1, 2010
This review is from: Nazi Nexus: America's Corporate Connections to Hitler's Holocaust (Paperback)
Excellent book. Author has spent years researching how Hitler received help from Americans as well as American corporations. It has taken many years for the truth to be known. Jews living in Europe didn't have a chance.The Nazis had so much help from IBM,Ford, GM and other corporations that its a miracle that more Jews weren't murdered in cold blood.
