“Friedrich Wilhelm I inaugurated Prussian statistics in the eighteenth century. By 1730, people were sorted into nine different categories, with working citizens being classified according to twenty-four occupations and relevant subcategories, including hat makers and stocking makers. […]
“The purpose of such minute record keeping was threefold: to determine the power of the state, to facilitate taxation, and to control people—especially minorities. Most minority groups were only counted locally, and their categories were haphazard-except for Jewish people. Complete and separate tables enumerating Jewish people became routine from 1769, a precedent for the Holocaust.”
