   Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

     @Strandjunker And since we're at it - the reason the nazis were so efficient at eradicating the Dutch Jewish community during the occupation of 40-45, is because The Netherlands had an incredibly efficient and detailed population register. The nazis immediately sought access to these registers after the invasion, and they received little to no pushback from Dutch officials.

     ...just in case someone reading this is not worried about Musk accessing demographic records.

     @thomholwerda @Strandjunker and in France they relied on rewards for giving up your neighbour. By putting the population in financial ruin, they could easily tempt people with an extra week of pay (or food), for the name/address of someone who disagrees with the government.

     @thomholwerda @Strandjunker And to add to this: the main reason for this incredibly efficient en accurate register of the Dutch people and their religious orientation was that the school financing system was partly based on it. So: more catholic children meant more financing from the government - by law - of catholic schools. Same for Jewish and jewish schools.

     @Strandjunker also a good reminder the Romani people, more commonly known by the pejorative term “gypsies” (German: Zigeuner), were among the first to suffer from forced sterilisation, internment and mass murder.

     Why? Because of broad social prejudice against this group.

     @Strandjunker Neither were any of the death camps, for that matter. They wanted as few people to know what they were doing as possible.

     @mikelovesbikes @Strandjunker The Nazi leadership wanted to make it easier for their supporters to not have to think about the mass killing and put it out of their minds to sleep well at night.

     Also to delay new spreading to other countries that might be further motivated to fight them in war.

     @thomholwerda @Strandjunker While we (well, those of us here) are trying to learn from history, I feel it's worth pointing out the resistance to it as well, in particular events like this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1943_Amsterdam_civil_registry_office_bombing

     @Strandjunker that's been a denialist talking point for years "can't be true, there weren't 6 million Jews in Germany in 1939" - conveniently omitting that war was declared in 1939 specifically because the Nazis didn't stay in Germany.

     @Strandjunker - this is a bad take.

     First, ICE is capable of running camps in the US, for example on military bases.

     Second, Auschwitz and hundreds of other concentration camps and two death camps were located in Germany proper, the other in Greater Germany - see the map below. Auschwitz was part of Germany proper from 1939 to 1945.

     Third, unlike El Salvador that has full control of the prison/camp on their territory, Polish government was in London and had no control over the camps.

     @Strandjunker Everyone can also be reminded that many people were sent to Guantanamo Bay without due process. They were mostly Muslims so few people cared, but it created precedent and engendered also cruel soldiers who become cruel politicians like DeSantis and Hegset.
     This is not really new, only closer to home for many.
