It was just an exaggerated comparison to make the point that often what is considered normal is nevertheless not the right thing to do. I am certainly not comparing the holocaust to spanking. (Though interestingly psychologist Alice Miller is arguing that the extreme beating and punishment practiced especially by the parents of this generation in Germany is what made the cruelty and lack of empathy of the holocaust possible in the first place.)
