Maybe take another step back and recognize that many people who were tortured by the nazis see the similarities to animal agriculture and are actively against it

Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_analogy_in_animal_rights

"Perhaps the earliest use of the analogy comes from Edgar Kupfer-Koberwitz, a German concentration camp survivor and journalist, who wrote in 1940 in his "Dachau Diaries" from inside the Dachau Concentration Camp that "I have suffered so much myself that I can feel other creatures' suffering by virtue of my own".[4][5] He further wrote, "I believe as long as man tortures and kills animals, he will torture and kill humans as well—and wars will be waged—for killing must be practiced and learned on a small scale".[4]"
