He could well have pointed out that just as the Gestapo were a baleful presence in the lives of both Jews and non-Jews, this new medical police IRS would be too. Also, don’t a disproportionate (per capita compared to non-Jews) number of Jews go on to be doctors? This mutant IRS will be breathing down their necks too.
Good points.
And another point is that the NAZIs didn’t start out transporting Jews to gas chambers. They started out with a whole host of minor oppressive laws that only later culminated in the Holocaust.
The whole point of “never again” is to never again sit with your thumb up your ass while an oppressive government turns you into a herd animal headed for a slaughter house.
To apologize for his originally insightful Gestapo remark is to show an ignorance of history that is truly breathtaking.
