German Jews are German too

I'm only posting this letter from today's Guardian because I know the guy who wrote it. It looks badly edited to me.
The first concentration camp at Dachau was for Germans - communists and social democrats, who had gained one and a half million more votes than Hitler in the last free elections. It was the German right, not the people, who put Hitler in power. And, of course, another category of Germans suffered - German Jews. The central tenet of the Nuremberg laws, that Jews were not German, should never be accepted.

Of course, Israel's Law of "Return" bears more than a passing similarity to the Nuremberg Laws.
