assuming holocaust=genocide, then this is not the second. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genocides
A Holocaust, ~~entomologically~~ etymologically, is a mass sacrifice in fire.
This genocide is particularly notable for how many people have been burned.
entomology is the study of bugs
Autocorrupt got me.
Holocaust is the name of one particular genocide. There is only the one. Perhaps the word will be used for another genocide some day but if so it's going to be entirely arbitrary.
The word holocaust is an ancient greek one. Not made to be limited what you claim. You will have to live with that fact I'm afraid. You dont get to police everyones use of language, we'll use language like it was made to be used thanks.
wow! you're actually insane!
Holocaust as a word has an ancient etymology meaning ~fire, but as a proper noun it refers to a (particular) genocide. The holocaust did in fact happen and Jews were targeted. Fuck off nazi.
