Wow! I never knew computers helped set up their identification system. Definitely something I will look into further. Thanks for posting this.
Check for a book called "IBM and the Holocaust". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust … It's a very interesting read and shows how the old Hollerith machines made the numbers possible in the first place.
This was one of the most mind-bending books I've ever read. NOT how most of us are used to thinking about this era.
It was an era of the same capitalism that is running today. And of companies having to choose between collaboration and being taken over by the regime. Not an easy one.

We hadn't quite reached the totalitarian tipping point we seemed to stumbling towards. I'm hoping now that our current political divide will lead to a decentralization of political, technological, and ideological control.
I hope it'll be a wake up call for the voters. Like Obama said: Every vote counts to get a picture of what the people want and are willing to tolerate.
The same is on the table for every European country, too. The next elections will tell a lot about future developments.
