Sippenhaft or Sippenhaftung is a German term for the idea that a family or clan shares the responsibility for a crime or act committed by one of its members, justifying collective punishment. (…)
It was adopted by Nazi Germany to justify the punishment of kin (relatives, spouse) for the offence of a family member.
add to the list of parallels to Germany in the 30’s: (1) RFK implementing our own version of Aktion 74 (nazis ''forced euthanasia" of ‘undesirables’ including the disabled and sickly; the US version simply removes healthcare and obfuscates medical science). (2) The German ‘Law of preventing overcrowding of universities’ which sought to remove all undesirables from the higher education system - focused on Jewish people but also foreigners in general, and removal of those not party-aligned; The US version is starting by banning Harvard from enrolling foreign students and forcing schools to make lists of ‘suspect’ students, mainly Chinese students and pro-Palestine students

Apologies for nit-picking, but it’s Aktion T4
Nit picking appreciated! I can’t believe I’ve been reading it and seeing ‘7’ instead of ‘T’
