It sure does.
"Many times distinctive dress was specified to identify a dhimmi that he would be unable to either mix with a Muslim or even walk in a Muslim area of a city. Other rules specified such demeaning dress codes as not wearing shoes or sandals, not using certain colors, wearing stars on their clothing. Dhimmis were often prohibited from working in many occupations. Even rules were made as to how a dhimmi could ride a mule to distinguish him from a Muslim.
The non-observance of these rules would entail a severe beating. Often passing a Muslim on the wrong side would begin a beating that could leave a dhimmi mortally wounded. Since the dhimmis were denied the ability to testify against a Muslim, there was absolutely no recourse"

What's alarming about this article is that it never mentions the Islamic tradition of dhimmitude. As horrendous as the holocaust was, dhimmitude is a slow and painful death of the spirit (and frequently a gruesome death when the mullahs choose to stir up the rabble). The good Rabbi would be better off focusing on more ancient history.
Iran is setting itself up as the center of the new caliphate in the minds of the Islamic ummah, increasing the threat that the tinder box of Muslims within the borders of the West will create havoc when Iran makes it move.
