The thing about analogies is that the two things being compared don't have to match 1:1 in every single imaginable aspect. The comparison here is that both are symbols of state oppression of an ethnic group on the basis that they be worth less. Not that the American history of slavery is an exact carbon-copy of the Holocaust, or vice versa.

This. Its become perfectly clear to me over the years that people dont understand how analogies work.
