Your point is spot on - this bit in the article is as relevant to us as could be:

” Nazis began small. “No one is going to revolt over a sign,” like “No Jews allowed.” But of course that sign is just the first step. “The circle constricts a little more. They get used to obeying. To being pliable. We use them up till there is nothing left.”

I read this and I think of the Jewish professor who was blocked from going to his job at Columbia, and the Jewish pedestrian stopped by Brit cops from walking past a Palestine march in London.

Yup...it's been filmed in IMAX so I'll be going down to Rhode Island where they have a real IMAX theater. I saw Oppenheimer there. And presumably they'll release it on a 4K disc...which I'll be buying.

If this old Army guy knew 55 years ago what he knows today he would have gone Navy instead of Army!

Another reason is that it doesn’t reinforce the stereotype that “Poles drink anti-semitism with their mother’s milk”.

In another scene, equally as horrifying but much colder, Rokita explicates how genocide works, how the Nazis groomed Jews and bystanders. Nazis began small. “No one is going to revolt over a sign,” like “No Jews allowed.” But of course that sign is just the first step. “The circle constricts a little more. They get used to obeying. To being pliable. We use them up till there is nothing left.”

You will see this illustrated very well in the movie The Pianist.
