This is NOT comparable to the Holocaust. This is not industrialized murder. Do not disrespect the dead by trivializing their slaughter with false comparisons

The shameful internment of Japanese Americans by the US during WW2 is the correct comparison, and that was a very dark and terrible part of our history.

and papers please.
Then it graduated to putting them in a certain part of the cities, to rounding them up and taking their possessions, to putting them in the factories for slave labor, to putting them in the camps, to "showering" the old, the weak, the very young.

By then the operation was full blown.
Don't kid yourself this isn't like the Holocaust. You're seeing the beginning-racial profiling and incarcerating them.

The German people were ignoring what was going on under their noses until it exploded.

I'm not "trivializing" the Holocaust. I'm warning what Dump will do if nobody does anything about him.
