The Holocaust, which should better be referred to as "Shoa", meant the extermination of 6 million Jews in the Nazi concentration camps, during WW2. The "cold war" refers to the period between 1945-1989, when Western Europe was separated from the communist countries in Eastern Europe by what is known as the "iron curtain". Both regimes were dictatorships. I, personally, can't find much difference between them, since they were both inhuman and criminal. People died by the millions after the war too, at the hands of the communist leaders. Maybe the only difference is that the Nazi regime lasted for a decade (not that I can ever consider this an excuse), while the communist one is still going strong in some other parts of the world. You need to have been through both to understand. I've had my share of communism, I should know.
