I don't like the word "Holocaust" as it's been applied. It's best to avoid it, since it's used as part of pro-Israel propaganda.
Better is Isaac Deutscher's explanation of the connection between the Nazis and Israel: it's as if someone had jumped out of a burning building -- and had fallen and squashed his neighbor (the Palestinians).
