Whoah, slow down there. Segregation and Holocaust are on a different level.
It's just various stages of the same path.
No, no they aren't. Anyone who has been to Auschwitz and seen the various "rooms of common items from victims" like the room of glasses or the 40m3 cube filled with shoes knows the difference.
Holocaust was industrialized slaughter. The closest the US came to it was the genocides of Native Americans. And that was 90 years, not 4.
The Nazis literally took Jim Crow as inspiration for the laws they made that eventually took millions down the path to the death camps.
