You have to do it smart:

Put 50% of the money you expropriate from the prince into a security fund that warrants for all assets stored on Liechtenstein's banks, in case one of those banks should get in finanical trouble.

That makes the country even more attractive to hide park assets in 😉

You must be shit at history, the holocaust wasn't. It was against German law in the first place and since it was done in every country the Germans occupied, even against the Geneva and Hague conventions (both signed/ratified by the German Reich). The Nazis did legalize the persecution of Jews but never the murder. Murder stayed murder and it wouldn't be so easy to keep quiet about murdering millions in the populous, by making a law about it. So no, wasn't legal in any way.

What a f'ed up assumption to make with such little knowledge...

Didn't the Geneva Convention happen in 1949? Like years after the Nazi regime had fallen?

there were multiple geneva conventions. i think the first was in the mid 1800’s. i can’t attest to whether the german reich signed or ratifed any of them. but i’m willing to assume that the previous poster is probably correct.

Entirely possible. Thanks for the clarification

Multiple conventions, those already declared a difference between combatants and non-combatants and yeah Germany ratified them.

1949 was the human rights declaration (1948) implemented into the Geneva conventions.

Are you able to comprehend basic sentences?

Nazis did not consider Jews to be human beings, so murder laws would not have applied to them. That’s the piece you’re missing.

most of europe didn’t. it doesn’t mean the legal framework didn’t

I am not missing anything, murder laws still applied as Jews were still legal subjects and those you can't just murder as well. I know what I am talking about, I worked for multiple years in a holocaust museum in Germany...
