No similarities whatsoever.
The differences are many, among them being, the Jewish people in Nazi Germany were being rounded up for the sole purpose of their extermination. The Jews were unarmed, and had never harassed the existing authorities or government, neither were they harassing or harming their fellow citizens.They were ONLY targeted because of their religion/race.

That would be pushing the analogy to far.
If you held back a bit and equated the West Bank or Gaza with the Warsaw Ghetto you might stand a chance of making a point.

I would say the biggest difference is that only at Auschwitz were people marched into gas chambers and murdered by the thousands.

Similarities. Goys are still trying to wipe out the Jews.
Differences. No one is getting rounded up, stuck in camps, worked to death and having their bodies burned up.

Similarities: Jews were attacked by the Nazis in WW2.
Jews were attacked by the Arab League after WW2.
Differences: Jews didn't realize that they were going to be butchered by the millions in WW2 so they couldn't get free until after the Allies won the war.
Jews realized that they could be again be killed by the millions after WW2, so they decided to fight back when their enemies attacked. They haven't lost a war since.

The only major difference that I'm aware of is one is accepted by a majority of the civilized world and the other was condemned.

Franz von Papen was born to a wealthy Catholic family in Westphalia. He served as a soldier on the Turkish front in World War I. Returning to Germany, he entered politics, joining the Catholic Centre Party, in which the monarchist Papen formed part of the far right wing. On June 1, 1932, he was plucked from relative obscurity when President Paul von Hindenburg chose him as Chancellor to replace Heinrich Brüning, the leader of Papen's own party. This was largely due to the influence of General Kurt von Schleicher, at the time Hindenburg's closest advisor.
Papen, who was expelled from the Centre Party for his betrayal of Brüning, had practically no support in Reichstag except from the Conservative German National People's Party (DNVP). Papen ruled in an authoritarian manner, launching a coup against the Social Democratic led government of Prussia, and repealing his predecessor's ban on the SA as a way to appease the Nazis, whom he hoped to lure into supporting his government. Ultimately, after two Reichstag elections only increased the Nazis' strength in the Reichstag without substantially increasing Papen's own parliamentary support, he was forced to resign as Chancellor, and was replaced on December 4, 1932 by Schleicher, who hoped to establish a broad coalition government by gaining the support of both Nazi and Social Democratic trade unionists.
As it became increasingly obvious that Schleicher's maneuvering to find a Reichstag majority would be unsuccessful, Papen and DNVP leader Alfred Hugenberg came to an agreement with Hitler to allow him to become Chancellor of a coalition government with the Nationalists, and with Papen serving as Vice-Chancellor. Papen used his personal ties with the aged Von Hindenburg to persuade the President, who had previously vowed never to allow Hitler to become Chancellor, to fire Schleicher and appoint Hitler to the post on January 30, 1933.
Once Hitler was in power, Von Papen and his allies were quickly marginalized, and he retired from the Vice-Chancellorship in 1934, following the Night of the Long Knives, when many of Hitler's enemies inside and outside the party (including Schleicher) were murdered. Von Papen was arrested and put under house arrest for three days but his secretary, Herbert von Bose, and his speech writer, Edgar Julius Jung, were murdered. Later, Papen served the Nazi government as Ambassador to Austria from 1934 to 1938 and Ambassador to Turkey from 1939 to 1944.
Papen was captured by the allies after the war and was one of the defendants at the main Nuremberg War Crimes Trial, but was acquitted.
He tried unsuccessfully to re-start his political career in the 1950s.
He was made a papal Geheimkämmerer by Pope John XXIII in 1959.

The reason a sin is a sin is because most of the time the abused end up abusing others.

Well, only that Auschwitz was a site of attempted genocide, senseless torture, cruelty, and mass murder.

No similarities that I know of.
Differences? Where do I begin?
