UNADULTERATED EVIL

It is a study in unadulterated evil, pure, without admixture. When people realized the full extent of its horror, it was on a scale unbelievable to many. It started slowly, planned and incremental, year by year, so the population at large wouldn't realize the depth of the deviltry. Such is the way the world works to cloak its intrigues.

1933: the Nazi party got what they wanted: power, and after that, their hatred of the Jews began to show itself. There were the public burning of books by Jewish authors, random violence against Jews and their property. The police and the courts turned a blind eye. For the Jews, there was no legal recourse. Boycotts emerged: people were told not to buy from Jewish merchants. Intimidating, uniformed men were placed outside the stores to prohibit customer entrance.

1934: a decree made it illegal for Jewish students to take their final exams to qualify in pharmacy, medicine, dentistry, and law. The party excluded Jews from the military.

1935: laws enacted against intermarriage with Jews.

1935-36: They banned Jews from parks, restaurants, and swimming pools. Jews lost the vote. Jews couldn't own electrical or optical equipment, bicycles, typewriters, or records. Jewish students began to be removed from the universities.

1938: They excluded Jews from going to the movies, theaters, beaches, concerts, and resorts. All female Jews were to add "Sarah" to their names and all males were to add "Israel" to theirs. It was on November 9, they attacked and murdered German and Austrian Jews, burned their synagogues, and broke the windows of Jewish stores. It was on that night that thousands of Jews were arrested. It was in this year that Jewish children were expelled from the schools. Jewish passports began to be stamped with a scarlet letter, "J." Many passports were revoked.

1939: It becomes illegal for a Jew to own a radio and they are confiscated. All Jews are now under a curfew.

1940: It becomes illegal for a Jew to own a telephone. No Jew can own a ration card for clothing.

1941: All Jews over 6 must wear a yellow Star of David accompanied by the word, "Jew." No Jew can use a public telephone, own a dog, a cat, or a bird. No Jew can leave the country.

1942: Jews must hand over their fur coats and woolen goods. No Jew can receive eggs or milk. Blind and deaf Jews cannot wear armbands which identify them to traffic. All schools now closed to Jewish children.

We can stop there. The list of "Jews Can't" was long and deadly, comprised of 2,000 decrees. Yes, 2,000. Of course, eventually came the Nazi death camps. Once Eisenhower liberated those camps, he had them photographed for the historical record and made the Germans tour their horrors because he understood that someday, there would be those who would declare the horrors a hoax. He was right.

So, today, to carelessly hurl the insult of "Nazi" at just any political opponent is to trivialize the horror and the monsters who passed those 2,000 laws and initiated "The Final Solution." It is to insult the Jewish people.

Today, it shows the depths Satan will go to destroy the Jews, but God has declared His ancient people,  "Indestructible." That's a declaration the gentile nations have ignored, an ignoring going way back to ancient Egypt.
