You are comparing the mildest version of the stated beliefs of one ideology, to the actions of another (actions that, by the way, were kept hidden from the German people, who for most of the war believed the Jews were merely being, or going to be, expelled. There would be no need for a coverup if gassing was a widely-shared, open belief). Try:
"Believing that the economically well-off and those professing contrary politics should be starved to death imprisoned in their own country or in Siberia is the same as believing the German people should prosper in their ancestral lands and be free of foreign exploitation."
Present-day communists still proudly proclaim "eat the rich", so the hate is not limited to some distant time and place. And please spare me the excuses of how "eat" doesn't mean "eat", but a peaceful and gradual economic transition where resources are more fairly reallocated. Such charitable interpretations are never extended to disfavored movements.
