Yeah, I have a bit of a problem with the comparison to the Holocaust. I think, though, that the residents were trying to put some kind of widely known event out there to demostrate how dier their experiences were. They have been met with so many rolled eyes and scoffs at their situations that I think they were just trying to get people to really see how they were treated. I'm down here in Houston literally one block from the Reliant Stadium which was where many people were housed after Katrina and just seeing the masses of people coming and going and how after a while the city officials, police, etc, just began talking to them and treating the people like groups of nameless, faceless aliens, I really don't find their testimonies hard to believe. Its so frustrating.
