78. Perhaps too strong an assertion
Yes, Prescott Bush had dealings with German companies during the Nazi regime. He is therefore arguably guilty, to some extent, of helping to support what was going on. But he had dealings with a lot of foreign companies, and so did lots of people. I see it as being analogous to companies who were dealing with South Africa during apartheid. It's certainly something to be critical of, but equating it with collusion with the actions of that regime is arguably a step too far. Do you know of any indication, for example, that Prescott Bush or IBM knew of the plans for Holocaust?
