Edit2: Of course I could be wrong. If I am, I'd be interested in seeing why.
1. The Jews' families did not turn on each other and sell each other out in the same way that Gregor's family did to home. Gregor's family reacted like a family whose Patriach has lost his dignity and sanity and could not lead anymore.
2. Gregor's physical ailments that he recieved by becoming an insect were not because of extensive slave labor, but natural of his metamorphisis. The lack of an ability to speak correctly, the bad vision, the frail strength of his body, his weakend mental capacity - these all come upon him in due course, just like the normal human aging process.
3. Gregor's family only grew to despise him as he grew weaker.
Edit3: Remember - I think he was either in a camp during WWII, or nearly got in one.
4. Gregor died. Kakfa was a German Jew, but did not die during the Halocaust. In fact, unless I am mistaken, Kafka died in 1924, and Hitler was not even appointed to power until 1933.
