German consulate blasts Holocaust comparison

The German consulate in Hong Kong on Friday joined its Israeli counterpart in criticising comments made by a policeman, who said officers were being persecuted like the Jews during the Second World War.
In a statement posted on its Facebook page, the German Consulate General says the "reported reference to the Holocaust shows a regrettably insufficient knowledge of historical facts."
"The Jewish population in Germany was persecuted by the State and all its organs during the Nazi dictatorship and millions lost their lives. Therefore the comparison between the Jewish victims of the Holocaust and police officers convicted for an abuse of power is utterly inappropriate," the statement says.
The reference was made when thousands of officers staged an unprecedented show of force on Wednesday evening in support of their seven colleagues jailed for assaulting activist Ken Tsang during Occupy protests in 2014.
The speaker told the audience that the situation they faced was similar to that of the Jews who were persecuted by the Nazis. When he asked the crowd if they agreed with the comparison, the crowd shouted "Yes!"
