The Holocaust and world history is not a theme usually posited by philosophers of history or world historians. It is implied most often by scholars in Jewish studies, Holocaust historiography and genocide studies when they declare that the the Nazi attempt to exterminate Jewry is unique, unprecedented, unparalleled, or singular - compared to other genocides in world history.
