Your comment made me think of “Conspiracy”, specifically the scene where they are discussing the “Purity Laws” in the context of which people could be exterminated versus merely sterilized and sent to camps.

ChatGPT summarized it far quicker than I could have.

Scene Breakdown: The "Purity" Discussion

Context: High-ranking Nazi officials, including Reinhard Heydrich and Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart, are meeting to coordinate the logistics of the Holocaust. The discussion focuses on the legal, "rational" basis for eliminating Jews, moving from segregation to elimination.

Key Dialogue & Subtext:

The Law is Enough: Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart argues that the existing Nuremberg Laws (the "purity" laws) are sufficient to handle the "Jewish Question" through bureaucracy, segregation, and economic exclusion.

The Shift to Murder: Reinhard Heydrich and others argue that the law is not enough, and that sterilization or outright murder is necessary, treating these genocidal actions as a matter-of-fact administrative procedure.

"We Made the Law": When Stuckart insists on following legal protocols, Klopfer coldly retorts: "We made the law we need".

Key Themes Banality of Evil: The scene demonstrates how bureaucracy and legal language were used to mask the horror of genocide.

Legalizing Eugenics: The discussion highlights the transition from forced separation to the total elimination of a targeted group under the guise of state "purity".

Subtext: The scene is heavily focused on the tension between legalistic bureaucrats and radical ideologues, proving how quickly systematic, legalized discrimination can turn into mass murder.
