If we were only able to convert all of the back issues to Web-based text and post them fully indexed and searchable, that would bring many many researchers at all academic levels (Hebrew school through Post docs) to our LZA site for material for research papers.

It is a fascinating book about the business & strong financial ties between the German Nazi's & big blue. A well written book recommended to any adult. The story of how IBM developed software and hardware (using Hollerith punch card technology) to systematically identify the Jews, selected them, researched & confiscated their assets, transported them from all over europe, assigned them to camps, and maintained records of the executed Jews. Hope it will make the same impression on you as it did on me. [...]

I didn't see the end of the segment, but it seemed that the interviewer was of the opinion that the author had ignored some documents so they didn't get in the way of his theory. (I only [...]

It's a wonderful place if you enjoy hot weather and like to snorkel. The last time I was there, I was startled to see a large sign for a Mikvah; on further investigation, I found a young Chabad rabbi and rabbitzen living there, providing both a place to daven and a mikvah. Not sure how much of a Jewish community there really is but you won't lack for a mikvah! Roz [...]
