The bombing of Dresden was not justifiable because it was not war manufacturing city or military installation. Millions of civilians were killed because General Harris of the Royal Army Air Force continued to insist the war could be won by carpet bombing Germany. He failed to understand the citizens of Germany had no input on the matter of surrender. Those people in Dresden died it vain. The historical architecture was destroyed for the silly notions of General Harris. He was not given the medals and citations he felt he and his aviators should have received.
The British were furious at him for what he had done.
It brought the bombing of Dresden to light because most Americans did not know about it.
Dresden was the German city that was heavily destroyed by the Allies during intense bombing raids at the end of World War II. The most significant bombing occurred in February 1945, resulting in widespread devastation and significant civilian casualties. The destruction of Dresden has since been a subject of much historical debate and reflection.
Many major air raids in World War 2 involved firestorms (see link) and could be described as holocausts in the dictionary sense of "great destruction, especially by fire". However, in Germany anyway, using the word Holocaust in connection with the bombing of Dresden is generally regarded as a neo-Nazi trick.
The most important reason is the fact that the Allies won. It's the victor who writes history. Another reason might be that Germany began with bombing cities and the Allied bombings were retaliations.

Nobody, obviously! Perhaps you're thinking of Picasso's painting of Guernica, which was bombed in 1937.
The bombing of Dresden was an act of war. No different in most ways than the bombing of many cities in Britain like Coventry and Southampton and indeed the centre of London. Thousands of British citizens and children were killed indiscriminately by German bombs. The same happened to Poland, Belgium and Holland. Why would you think the bombers of Dresden should get some special punishment . - Your knowledge of history is deplorable.
The excessive firebombing was unnecessary.
