And although the book was published two years ago, the reader may see parallels in how the Trump administration is managing immigrants in America. Is there not a callous disregard of the rule of law similar to the antisemitic actions of “Aryanization”?

Dehumanization of a person lets you do what you want to that person since the rights of personhood no longer apply.
