It's probably because while they certainly may have attempted it, it's
not easy to smuggle Moses' iron staff into the concentration camps. Some
of them swallowed gemstones, but a big iron staff isn't something that
they can just hide under their arm, and maybe the Nazis even had metal detectors to prevent people bringing in guns and stuff.
This is the type of security that sucks twice. If you attempt and fail, basically you get ruined twice, unlike some other scams and trickery
people attempt today which have fail-safes. For example even if you
didn't get to set a nuke off in the office of the Wells-Fargo
establishment, you get away cleanly on the train afterwards. This means
you get ruined only once because you don't get to blow the bank to Hell
and Wells-Fargo sees another sunrise. However, you walk away to do it
again later in the week.
