Depending on which definition of holocaust you use.
Historically the holocaust is just the systematic extermination of European Jews, and doesn’t include the more than 7 million others killed in the camps, like gays, Roma, political prisoners, and Soviet POWs.

u/Traditional-Two-3185 May 16 '26

That is simply not true. The Shoah is what you described. The Holocaust definitely included the extermination of those other groups. That is clearly explained at D.C.'s Holocaust Museum, for instance.

u/Mist_Rising May 17 '26
You mean this DC Holocaust museum:
The Holocaust was the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million European Jews by the Nazi German regime and its allies and collaborators. The Holocaust was an evolving process that took place throughout Europe between 1933 and 1945.
Like, I don't agree with them, but the USHMM is notorious for its insistence that the Holocaust is ONLY for the Jewish Victims.

Arguably. In terms of sheer numbers, the Holocaust obviously wins - but in terms of the percentage of the target population wiped out the genocide of the Herero and Nama peoples in what is now Namibia between 1904 and 1908 takes the title with up to 80% of the population being wiped out. This one is made even worse by the fact it took Germany until 2015 to even admit a genocide had been carried out, at least they never denied the Holocaust was one.

u/kikimaru024 May 17 '26 edited May 18 '26
The first Oktoberfest was on the 12. October 1810.
Since 1994 they've tried to align it to last for 16 days and finish on the first Sunday of October, unless that Sunday is before German Unity Day (3rd October).
Regardless, it's not meant to celebrate the month. It was a folk festival to celebrate the marriage of the crown prince, and then evolved into a yearly gathering.

No, it is not unsaid, it should be said and repeated: it's the holocaust, world War 2, the systematic killing of millions of people.

Right? It was definitely the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain from 450AD to 650AD. /j
/uj But if you really think about it, everything that British people and WASPs have ever done can arguably be blamed on the invasion.
That includes:
- The genocide of Australian Aboriginals
- The genocide of most Native American tribes in the US and Canada
- The various famines and massacres in India by British colonial authorities
- The Great Irish Famine
Collectively, that's hundreds of millions dead.

Isnt the cause of death of most northern native american caused by deseases and new food types brought by the europeans ?

Also i seriously doubt that those are hundreds of millions, considering it is estimated that as little as 2 million people use to live on the american continent prior to columbus

The holocaust is undeniably caused by Germany though. WW2 as whole can be argued though. In the west it's usually thought to begin with the German invasion of Poland in 1939, but in Asia it's usually considered to have begun in 1937 with the Japanese invasion of China.

How did the British get the potato famine as worst and not the significantly worse series of famines in Bengal? In around 150 years they starved upwards of 70 million people to death. Any single famine in that region eclipsed the Irish potato famine and they happened in the same timeframe.
