Although that is when they officially lost their citizenship, I believe it was lost when they were prohibited from leaving their houses for days at a time. When they were taken on the cattle cars they were allowed one bag to pack their personal belongings. Not long after they were denied even that and their last bit of home was gone. That was the third factor in the process of dehumanizing them. Deprived of even their homes now they would arrive at a concentration camp and face one of the most dismal events one can ever encounter. They would be separated from their family. At arrival, they would be forced to divide into women and children and men without even saying goodbye. When one family member is lost it can take years to grieve and recover and they weren’t even spared five minutes to say goodbye. They no doubt by then had lost all hope and doubted they could even lose anymore but they would be proven wrong. In another attempt to make them less than human they disregarded their names and instead turned them into numbers that were stamped onto their arms. They were treated like meat, they were stamped, overworked and packed into cattle
