Some people might think that the Auschwitz comparison is a bit over the top. But, I do think that the connection is that both Auschwitz and child abuse in The Family were organized, sponsored activities.

Certainly, terrible things happen in the world every day. But, they are usually the act of one deranged person, or a small group of two or three.

The Nazi party enslaved an entire country. They made it legal and just to kill Jews.

So, it is similar that The Family made it legal and just to abuse, molest and rape children.

The difference in both cases is that society as a whole does not agree. The surviving Nazi leaders were hunted down and put on trial for crimes against humanity.

This probably doesn't happen with The Family because the average person has never heard of them, and when you try to explain, they don't get it. It is all so tabloid and sensational, that it looks like just another article in "The Weekly World News".
