> somehow the official line that it's only Jews that were targeted is not holocaust denial.

How is this the official line? Jews were the primary target but I’ve never ever seen anything ‘official’ claim they were the only ones.

>The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah,[c] was the World War II genocide of the European Jews.

I don't think you can get more of the zeitgeist than the first sentence of a wiki article.

History is written by the victors.

Dude... if you just kept reading it’s clear they aren’t claiming they were the only ones, but Jews by far were the primary targets.

Nobody is denying other shit happened though.

To be fair, the article does make a distinction, saying the other parts weren't part of the holocaust, necessitating a different name for everything else.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust#Definition

It doesn't deny that other stuff happens, it just defines the holocaust as not including them.

Personally, I never knew the scale of the non-holocaust parts of the holocaust era until reading this today, and I expect it's because of the narrow scope of the term's definition. So I'm sympathetic to konjin's view even though it's just a question of definitions instead of a question of facts.

Roma have their own term for it IIRC
