The Auschwitz concentration camps, a testament that antisemitism caused the worst genocide in human history
Holocaust trivialization is the use of the word Holocaust in a way that decreases the perceived size or importance of the Holocaust.[1][2] More specifically, Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs (JCFA), observed Holocaust trivialization as[3]
[A] tool for some ideologically [...] motivated activists to metaphorically compare phenomena they oppose to the industrial-scale destruction of the Jews [. ...] exaggerate the evil nature of a phenomenon they condemn.
