Stages of Genocide in the Holocaust

One of the stages of genocide that I saw at the museum was classification. This was evident in the star of David that all Jews were forced to wear. They made them wear them in order to identify which people are Jews, they did this so they would know who to discriminate. I also saw evidence of dehumanization when the Nazis had a sign at the pool that said, " no dogs or Jews." This is an example because it is putting them in the same category as an animal. This would make it easier to kill them because they didn't have rights or anything because they didn't really view them as people.
