I wonder if in Germany they also said it was a scandal when jewish people started to dissappear

Yes, some did say that. The difference was that back in the 1930s information did not spread as fast as it does today.

Yes some did. Some protested. Some tried to intervene. They disappeared, too. Eventually.

Yes they did, they used the same rethoric Trump uses for immigrants. Then they deported and murdered them industrially. Trump wants to get rid of how many people? How can you accomplish such a feat, when nobody wants to take them, think about that.

They were sent to labour camps (like the US is suggesting prisoners could replace farming hands- due to their own actions against immigrants)

Then they started round up women and children, no longer just Jews (Isreal has a hand in 2025 Palestinian supporters being rounded up), but also POC, foreigners, and sending them to death camps and gas chambers.

It was a slow burn at first, using propaganda to help support their cause over 12 years. Trump is speed running Russia's outcome in 6 months i reckon

The first KZ prisoners weren’t Jews but political enemies: Social Democrats, Socialists, Communists.

'First They Came'... Will the majority forget this crucial warning from the past? Do they even know it? Let's hope not.
