It's worth noting that the Holocaust was just one of a broader slate of mass murders, which in two years totalled about 22 million people in all of Europe. So that statement is triply offensive. First, death camps are far worse than abortion. Second, the comparison with Jewish suffering is abominable because Jews were the most singled out group of Hitler's targets and the one most inevitably and invariably killed. Third, they were in the end just one of those groups, and it's disrespectful to the others to single out the one, and doing so is a sign of intellectual laziness.
