WatchDog explores holocaust analogies. We interview people whose work has drawn the link between the mass confinement and slaughter of humans and that of other animals.

Matt Prescott is the Youth Outreach Coordinator for PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. As a Jew who lost family during the Holocaust, and on behalf of the Jewish people at PETA, Prescott says the intention of PETA’s "Holocaust on Your Plate" display is to decrease the amount of cruelty in the world, not to minimize the human suffering that occurred during the Holocaust.
