Comparison: People used to be normally working people one day. The next day they are beaten up, pulled far from family and imprisoned for no good reason other than existing. Are they being actively murdered in mass, no. Are they being stripped naked and worked til death no. Can they now go home? No. Is being imprisoned without any allowed contact or ability to defend they point of view similar to being imprisoned without any allowed contact with the purpose of eventually being murdered? Yeah, I can see that. If you don't tell me when I might eventually gain my freedom, that's similar to never gaining my freedom.

I don't even know where to start to tell you, but the stories of the freed Jews from the Nazi camps did come with a purpose and request to learn from them to never let it happen again. Me, I'm okay with knowing that there are normal prisons for criminals. That's borderline okay. Acceptable for our level of intelligence. But a prison for those who you do not like is basically what they asked us to not repeat. So using that comparison is for the correct purpose.
