There have been many holocausts Terry and some did not involve war or violence against the victims going back millennia. You could argue what happened in Ireland during the potato famine when we exported what little they had over here whilst letting around a million Irish peasants starve to death, whist millions immigrated to the new world to escape the famine, was a form of holocaust. But the depravity and the scale of the depravity meted out by the Nazis is what puts it right up there with the very worst. And sadly it goes on today and in more recent past. Sadly holocausts of varying size and levels of depravity seem to be a feature of human history. It’s ironic that those who themselves were sub human, reckoned that those they murdered and persecuted were sub human. But with regards to the Armenian brutality, the Turks to this day deny what happened. And sometimes holocaust’s are carried out against your own; people such as what Stalin did in the USSR, and Paul Pot in Cambodia.
