The Holocaust.

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

I realized that the Holocaust has completly overtaken the genearl view of the word and made it synomous with the suffering inflicted upon followers of the Jewish religion. I feel that this is a bad thing that people can be mislead by an event to completly view something as the event made it seem. How does the Escapist stand on this?

Erm, forgive me, but I'm pretty sure a Holocaust is an ethnic cleansing, as well as an offering to a God via fire. The two aren't mutually exclusive. They even had kilns.

X: "Yes, an ethnic cleansing"
Me. "No, it is a great offering by fire, usually to a god"
Upon this point X simply wandered off without responding to the question

From what I can see, he did respond to the question, and you seemed to object for no real reason?

I don't really understand. Are you asking if we think that the word 'Holocaust' being appropriated with an ethnic cleansing is bad?

Buh?

It's even worse to treat the holocaust like it's some sort of unique event, because it's really not.

Genocides might not be, but something so fervent and production-line-esq? As far as I know that's Unique.

I think there was already another even with Jews being killed before the Nazi Holocaust called the Holocaust as well. So from my memory the killing of Jews and use of the word Holocaust to describe it are not unique.
