The Nazis chose to use cattle-cars to send Jews to die in the Holocaust. These were the same cattle-cars that had been used to send German soldiers to their deaths in the First World War. Do unto others as has been done unto you.

The Holocaust re-enacted the trauma of the First World War. Hitler went to the Front in one of these cattle cars. By a miracle, he survived. Many of his comrades did not survive. They died in vast numbers. Do unto others as has been done unto you.

The German-nation state sent German soldiers to die in vast numbers. The German nation-state sent Jews to die in vast numbers. German soldiers went "like sheep to the slaughter," innocent of what their fate would be. Jews went like sheep to the slaughter, innocent of what their fate would be.
