I agree. The uniqueness of the holocaust has been a subject of much debate among historians, the so called "Historikerstreit", triggered by right-wing historian Ernst Nolte arguing that the holocaust was not unique, while the opposing majority view holds that the holocaust has been uniquely evil. (The whole debate is really too complex to be summarised in a few paragraphs.)

At any rate, I certainly don't mean to belittle the atrocities the Chinese Communist Party commits nowadays. But strongly agree with the above poster that one should be very careful with applying the term "holocaust" to anything but the systematic murder of jews and other minorities by Nazi Germany.

I am afraid the question of whether the holocaust is unique will transpire to be rather like the question of whether WW1 was the "war to end all wars". It was not the first time anyone had attempted such a thing, but it was the first time it was done in a mechanized, organized manner. It won't be the last.
