A lack of national ID cards would not have hindered the Nazis in carrying out mass murder one bit.

More apropros to the current situation, Henryk Jagoda and the bolsheviks killed/starved between 29 million to 113 million people, depending on estimates. They certainly ID's people, based on ethnicity, religion, political affiliation, and class status.
My point is to not make it easier for them.

Stalin killed around a million people in the purges. Several million people died in a famine in the early 1930s, which was partially due to Stalin's economic policies.
Figures like 29 million (not to mention 113 million, which would hardly leave anyone in the USSR) are simply not credible. I suspect the 29 million figure comes from counting the victims of the Nazi invasion of the USSR, but those deaths are on Germany's balance.

They are credible. That estimate was directly from perplexity.ai with sources. It aligns with what I've come across in my own reading as well.
If you think the holodomor and red terror only killed a couple million people, I've got some beachfront property to sell you in Idaho.
