The Jews weren't the only people who were taken to the death camps, there were also gypsies, homosexuals, Russians and basically anyone who the Germans thought were different. People who disagreed with Hitler were also murdered.

That is a matter of semantics, historians say no one, that the gypsies suffered their own genocide. But for us who know less, we like to call all of the victims of the Nazis as victims of the Holocaust.

_____

The trouble is that there are at least two competing definitions of the Holocaust. Practically all professional historians use the term specifically for the Nazi genocide of the Jews in World War 2. However, there is also a popular definition, especially in the US, which includes all victims of mass murder by the Nazis and even groups that the Nazis persecuted. As far as I'm aware, (partial) public funding for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) led other groups that had suffered - often grievously - under the Nazis to claim that they should be included. Soon it became a bit of a bandwagon. Please see the related question.

The gypsies also suffered a genocide under the Nazis where they lost a greater proportion of their people.
