Is the Holocaust uniquely Jewish?

The term the Holocaust (with an upper-case H) was created to refer specifically to the attempt by the Nazis, in 1941-45 to kill all the Jews that they could find. It replaced the Nazis' own term, which was 'the Final Solution of the Jewish Question'. Every event (or series of events) in history is unique.However, if you are asking whether the term also includes other victims of Nazi genocide and other Nazi atrocities there is a problem as there are two definitions in use. Professional historians generally use the term specifically for the Nazi genocide of the Jews, but in popular usage, especially in the US, the term is often used for all victims of Nazi mass murder.If you are asking whether any other people has been subjected to genocide, the answer is yes.For many Jews the Holocaust has become an important 'badge' of Jewish identity: the Jews have become the 'people of the Holocaust'.

The term "gypsies" refers to the Roma people, who were a targeted group during the Holocaust. They were subject to persecution, forced labor, and mass killings by the Nazis and their collaborators. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of Roma people were killed during this time.


How does the forgotten Holocaust relate to the Jewish Holocaust?

There is no one "forgotten Holocaust" as the term applies to any genocide other than the mass murder of 6 million Jews. Some people use the term to refer to the mass-murders of Poles during World War II, the Rape of Nanking and similar atrocities against the Chinese in the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Armenian Genocide, and other similar horrors. The way that these genocides relate to the Jewish Holocaust during World War II, is that they were all mass-murders of innocent people based on their ethnic identity. However, it was the Jewish Holocaust that really brought international attention to this all-too-common problem of genocide and resulted in its identification and criminalization.
