Leviticus says no tattoos

Is that a reason the Nazis made a point of tattooing numbers on the Jews during the Holocaust? Kind of like forcing a Muslim to eat Pork.

Probably not. Germans have a compulsive need to organize, label and categorize. The numbering tattoos were just a grotesque symptom of that.
