I had a partner where I work, a 65ish Jewish guy. I personally witnessed him send an email to his gym because not enough people were wearing masks. You would think, of all people, the Jews would go “fuck this! This ain’t happening again.” I guarantee this is exactly how Nazi German started. There were probably people sounding the alarm and being laughed at for being conspiracy theorists.

The Communists were targeted not for extermination but to prevent their disruption of Germany's war effort and to man the factories (work camps).
