It started with politicians capitalizing on, and motivated by, centuries-old animosity specifically against Jews, repeating and amplifying centuries-old lies and libels specifically about Jews, because Hitler was firmly convinced that Jews represented a unique danger peculiar unto themselves. Yes, the Nazis murdered other groups as well, but the Holocaust itself was a continuation and amplification, with modern technology, of the uniquely continuous and relentless historical persecution of one specific people. It cannot be understood, or honestly discussed, without always emphasizing that point front-and-center.
I couldn't get over how casually JD Vance kept dehumanizing and making villains of immigrants. It starts there... then, one day, they come for us.
I don't think that type of bigotry will ever be wiped out, but hopefully we'll stamp it out at least a little bit.

Infidel753 and Ramon - Appalling insights and statistics. Questions - Why the Jews? Weren't the Jews God's chosen people? Isn't this God omnipotent? Isn't everything that happens part of this God's plan? Why did this God sit by and allow the expulsion and extermination of his chosen people? Just wondering...WTF
Infidel & Ramon - Thank you both.
Million: Christ-killers, and all the other labels were just incendiary language to fuel the mob (sound familiar?). The actual bottom line was to steal wealth. Accuse Jews of atrocities, then confiscate their property as you usher them to the border. All Europeans did it. For more on the topic read "A Distant Mirror" by Barbara Tuchman. Case-in-point; the English & French were at one another's throats for centuries, fighting over territory that was clearly French. At that time, what was Englands major, if not sole export? It didn't generate enough income to fuel wars, so they resorted to what they knew best - piracy. On land & sea they were seasoned. Blame jews, plunder their wealth - pay for war. The world is still finding stolen art, then arguing whether to return it to the descendants of Jewish victims.
They didn’t call Queen Isabel the Catholic of Spain for nothing ! She led the charge to rid Spain of both Jews and Moors, people who contributed much to Spain’s commerce and culture. Not to mention the Inquisition that targeted everyone.
The Hungarian monarchs were quite adept at prosecuting Jews by compelling Jews to wear a red patch on their clothing 1279-1290, this caught the attention of Nazis who studied antisemitism in Europe to get ideas to persecute Jews. As a result of these “studies”, the Nazis had Jews wear yellow stars of David.
The hypocrites of today who say they love Israel, and then turn around with stories of Jews aiming lasers to cause fires in California, claiming certain Jews are not Jewish enough, or as some believe, when Jesus comes back, the Jews will HAVE to become Christian.
And so it goes ! -Rj
As the for the bigots.
They could get rid of all the non-whites in the USA, and they would still be miserable. The bigots always need and require a scapegoat, they literally get off on it ! The bigots would then do what they did before, when in there eyes, the USA was mostly white; tear into other white people for not being of the “correct” religion or from a “proper” country. The bigot has to be called out on the floor by the decent.
