The use of extra-judicial roundups to keep targets isolated, impoverished, dependent on others' charity, & vulnerable to harassment campaigns...
It sounds so much like the Diary of Anne Frank.
She also was prevented from appearing in public, using transportation, stopped from going to work, prevented from having a job, and thwarted from the courts fearing capture.
This is what Nazis & the Stasi did, kept people caged in their homes to enable concentration camp detention.
The East German Stasi employed former Nazis in droves.

The Nazis & Stasi used the same methods of public terror for suppression.
Forcing people to stay at home in fear of arrest, harassment, or violence.
