I've been told that even talking "technically" about the Holocaust is an extremely sensitive topic in Germany

It's an extremely sensitive topic in France too. This just happened
French professor suspended for doubting Holocaust
It seems "doubting the Holocaust" means only to ask questions about it.
I'm a little bit of a history buff, so I did some of my own research and learned that the word Holocaust with a capital "H" did not exist prior to 1978.
I hope I won't be accused of doubting the Holocaust for pointing this out
The capital "H" version of the word appears to of been coined after the NBC TV miniseries
Holocaust which was first broadcast in 1978. After the miniseries, the word "Holocaust" became a household word, and found its way into dictionaries, encyclopedias, history books and so on.
