IBM and the Holocaust

This is yet another video clip presented by Edwin Black that looks at IBM"s involvement during the Holocaust specifically in creating the technology to create censor reports. From a critical analysis standpoint, I believe the music chosen is a little creepy and made the documentary feel really dark. He also uses several cool techniques that make it look somewhat from outer space with his persona planted behind punch card numbers and other things. I think it would be interesting to have students analyze both video clips by Edwin Black and critique which one is more effective and why.
