Since about 1980 the term the Holocaust has generally been used by historians for what the Nazis called die Endloesung [der Judenfrage] - the Final Solution [of the Jewish Question]. In other words, in scholarly usage, it normally refers only to the Jews.

However, there were several groups persecuted by and massacred in large numbers by the Nazis on the basis of group identity and the term is sometimes used loosely to include them all. Please see the related question.
