I'm from SA and I knew about IBM and the Holocaust, but not Apartheid. Thanks for putting me onto that.

Did you know about Kodak and Apartheid? During the 1960‘s, Kodak developed a photo id system for the South African government which was better at taking pictures of darker skin. Due to employee and international pressure, in 1971 Kodak declared they were pulling out of South Africa. Privately though, they used Frank & Hirsch as an intermediary to continue to supply the passbooks until they were found out in 1977.
