Holocaust Litigation
* Re “Journals of the Day Tell a Tale of IBM,” Commentary, Feb. 18: Holocaust lawyers are building a case against IBM in the media, as they did with Ford, GM, VW, Swiss banks, etc. The ability to generate negative publicity about a firm and then be paid to go away amounts to extortion, a time-honored and profitable activity. It will be interesting to see how far this ever-widening circle of shakedowns will reach, and how the net result will affect perception of the Holocaust.
