Most Jewish people learned for the Holocaust, other seem to want to ignore the lesson. They were declared enemies of the state, disarmed, rounded up and sent to the camps. Ignoring the lesson of what disarmament can do is folly.
The Minister of the Interior, Frick, passed Regulations Against Jew's Possession of Weapons on November 11, 1938, which effectively deprived all Jews of the right to possess firearms or other weapons. It was a regulation prohibiting Jews from having any dangerous weapon—not just guns. Under the regulations, Jews "are prohibited from acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons.
Those now possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to turn them over to the local police authority." Moreover, prior to that, the German police and Nazis used the 1938 firearms law as an excuse to disarm Jews. In Breslau, for instance, the city police chief decreed the seizure of all firearms from Jews on the ground that "the Jewish population 'cannot be regarded as trustworthy'"—the language from the 1928 and 1938 firearms laws.
Sort of like our government declaring some people "domestic terrorists". When will the roundup begin?
