Don't forget that Germans were able to quickly find people they wanted to exterminate by going through municipal and church records. Today it will be much easier thanks to push for Digital ID. Choose demographic and the dashboard will show where everyone is and their connections.

Corporations already have a "digital ID" for everyone. As we know from WW2 (and more recent conflicts) private corporations would be lining up to work with the next Nazi regime if the price was right.

Digital ID? Kiddos <25 years old give away 3D face scans and fingerprints at the gym, grocery store, and in the gambling mobile app.

The choosen demographic in Poland was easy to find without any records. Jews were mostly orthodox and easily visibly different and poor.

Polish were basically "anyone there" no records necessary.

		Yeah the Nazis had future plans for Poland. The idea was to make the entire country into illiterate slaves. A lot of people don't know that although what the Nazis did was obviously terrible it was nothing compared to what they wanted to do. Poland survived 60 years of communism. It would not have survived national socialism.

Ten years ago multiple tech giants openly stated they would not help the Trump administration build a Muslim registry [1]. Since then, several of them have bowed the knee and donated to his second inauguration. I’m from Germany, and keep wondering how much more damage the NSDAP could have done if they had access to the data these companies now have on everybody.

		Germany has the Schufa. Should be trivial to narrow down to a specific group based on name only.
