    Yeah, a reminder that the Weimar Republic, genuinely innocently catalogued the German population with all kinds of information. Too bad that the democratic powers didn’t stay in power and the Nazis had access to all the information including who and where Jewish Germans were.

    This is btw the reason why you don’t have “race” as a category in our census. The government actively doesn’t want to know that thanks to the historical baggage.
