really!  residential schools = Auschwitz!!  

I think the majority of those who created, managed, and ran the residential schools did so with misguided but good intentions with a view to improving, in their eyes, the lives of indigenous people.  Clearly they failed.  Clearly they were incapable of seeing the damage their actions caused.  But I don't believe they were motivated by malice or wickedness.  Many of them were highly religious people doing what they believed was "god's work".

We are fortunate enough to have the benefit of hindsight and perspective to see how they erred.

Those who created and ran the Nazi death camps cannot claim the same benevolent intent.  Their actions and motivations were evil from the start.  Not an appropriate comparison.  And not funny in the least.  Remember that sarcasm is supposed to be a form of humour.
