To quote @andreapitzer.bsky.social: "The correct response to Dachau was not better training for the guards."
Of course the fundamental thing here is that none of our leaders want to acknowledge that we have concentration camps in this country and have had them for a while.

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"
