Red,
Adherents of the Abrahamic religions share a common cultural history in committing such acts. Assuming that their "Bible" contains some factual depictions of historical events, I find this passage (Numbers 31:7-18 (King James Version)) to be a prime example of moral superiority.

Kill all, but save those little virgin girls for yourselves!! You betcha-ya!!!

Holocaust (capitalized) = Proper noun, reference specifically the Jewish Holocaust.
holocaust (non-capitalized, unless leading a sentence) = noun. Used to describe any mass killing/burning.

There were plenty before the Armenians, and plenty after the Jews. Not a very exclusive club, I'm afraid.

Also: when people talk about the Holocaust they tend to leave out the other victims; i.e. the Roma.
