That particular Government dictator had Power over ALL of the people of Germany. (not just the Jewish People)
And, when any of the People of Germany went against the dictator’s many Government mandates they were punished for their disobedience.
Children were indoctrinated in the dictator’s Government schools. Children were taught to turn in their parents. Neighbors were mandated to turn in their neighbors. And the children and neighbors turned them in… based on fear of punishment for themselves… if they did not obey and turn them into the Government in order to receive their just Governmental punishment for their disobedience.
Currently, some of the people who are vaccinated have no problem with mandating the unvaccinated because they are fearful of the virus.
And, due to that fear they have agreed with this particular mandate.
The lesson from German history is… the day may come when they (some of the vaccinated) will disagree with a future mandate and then…that mandate boot will be on their necks and there may be nobody to speak for them and they will end up with a multitude of people boots on their necks holding them down as they are accused and then forced to comply with that future disagreeable mandate.
Followed by mandate after mandate because the Power is no longer in the hands of The People because that Power has been given to an unchecked Government.
Perhaps, that will never happen… but dictatorship history does seem to repeat itself over and over again usually to the detriment of the people.
A dictatorship is a government or a social situation where one person makes all the rules and decisions without input from anyone else.
