The Holocaust means the genocide of the Jewish people carried out according to the Nazi Final Solution, aimed at systematically killing all members of the Jewish people. Then, a few decades after the Holocaust, its denial started, in several ways. One of them was trivializing the Holocaust and denying its uniqueness.
