    Hitler copied segregation from the Jim Crow South. Also, before that is even worse in the US. A sizeable part of the US population was forcibly taken from their families and subjected to a lifetime of hard labor and rape. This was considered legal and normal at the time.

    Every so often you hear about some freako who has kidnapped someone and kept them alive for years chained in a basement. Maybe they have to work or do sexual favors for their captor. We now consider that person a victim and their captor the worst kind of criminal. That disgusting criminal was an average slaveowner in the US South.

      Hitler mentioned Jim crow with praise in mein kampf.

      Black GIs came back from killing nazis to be tied to trees and tortured.

      The south lost a war, then ignored everything and went right back to doing what they were doing for 150 years.
