Swiss MP: ‘Jews had a better chance of survival at Auschwitz than pigs in farms'

Fricker’s alleged belittling of the Holocaust triggered outrage in Switzerland, causing him to resign on Saturday. 
Swiss Green Party MP Jonas Fricker said during a debate over animal protections in the National Council legislative body on Thursday that Jews deported to the Auschwitz extermination camp had a better chance of surviving than pigs sent to industrial livestock farming.
Fricker’s alleged belittling of the Holocaust triggered outrage in Switzerland, causing him to resign on Saturday.
He said on Thursday that “the people who were deported there [Nazi extermination camps] had a chance to survive. The pigs go to a certain death.”
