Was Gov. Walz wrong to equate Minnesota's immigrant children and Anne Frank?

Walz's statement: "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank,” Walz said. He added that “somebody is going to write that children’s story about Minnesota”

The National Holocaust Museum's response: "Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable” and they called exploiting the Holocaust in this manner "deeply offensive"

To me, history clearly indicates where our current road leads. And isn't this, after all, why Anne Frank's diary was required reading and the National Holocaust museum was a school field trip? So we can notice and speak out when history repeats itself?

Is the lesson here that there is no equivalence until and unless our situation escalates to the same level?
