Why compare to the Holocaust?

Comparing anything to the Holocaust, particularly Nazi concentration camps, is deeply offensive due to the immense suffering and systematic genocide involved. Such comparisons trivialise the unique horror of the Holocaust, causing pain to survivors and their descendants. The councillors' remarks about station queues drew strong condemnation for this reason, highlighting a lack of sensitivity.
