It's like comparing apples to tiny little rotten pieces of fruit lying smashed in the ground

"I told them I'd come back. I told them I would come back. They wouldn't let us. They wouldn't even let us get our luggage. They had us get on the bus, no questions, nothing. Like Hitler. I felt like we were the Jews."
You, their mother, allowed them to be locked in closets and deprived of food, and allowed your daughters as young as 13 were forced into sexual relationships with 50 year old men.
God forbid they speak out and tell someone, god forbid they leave, if you leave the ranch, you tell her that outsiders would "hurt her, force her to cut her hair, to wear makeup and clothes and to have sex with lots of men."
The world of "evil and deceipt" came knocking on your door, and took hundreds of your children – from infants to teenage mothers – that had been abused by the people they saw as family and moved to an old Army-fort-turned-museum, which you relate to a Concentration Camp.
Can you compare your experience to this?
You are comparing what is happening to you to a time in history that witnessed 15 million military personnel die in battles, 18 million people die as a result of the war, 11.5 million people exterminated (five million Christians and 6.5 million Jews).
There was an to this continues to be immeasurable pain and suffering amongst millions of people because of this.
Do you really want to go there?

And....


VS.

Right, I see the comparison.

It is idiotic that she even compare the 2. They are breaking the law and allowing children to be married and have sex with dirty old men.

Where is the comparison?
