M guessing this is a comparison to the holocaust. Comparing the Ice camps to the holocaust is reducing the holocaust massively, where the word death camp is usually used. During the peak 15000 People were murdered every single day. For 3 Months straight.
The death toll in Auschwitz alone would have been enough to completely depopulate San José, the 10. biggest city in the USA and then some more. The sheer size is nearly incomprehensible.
Yeah the direction is there, but be thankful there is still a long way to go. There is still time to stop it.
