I respectfully disagree. The potential for evil that was brought to fruition in Nazi Germany resides in all Men, The Germans were not unique. When we see the needle moving in the direction of societal evil the fastest way to sound the alarm is to invoke the Nazis, for you don't have to explain what they were about, their actions speak for themselves.
So, invoking the Nazis when societies are going off the tracks into darkness is perfectly reasonable. Had the Jews had a similar scourge to reference in the 1930's in Germany, perhaps they wouldn't have dismissed what ultimately happened to them as impossible, and reacted differently to the situation.
(Side note, my Great Grandfather lost his entire immediate family in the Holocaust, fourteen members total.)
