That's one reference in nine definitions, by my count.

No, of course not. Two things (perhaps three come to think of it now) are
being pointed out. One is that, agree with it or not, the standard
definition of "the Holocaust" is "the mass murder by the Nazis of the Jews
of Continental Europe between 1940 and 1945". [Collins] Two is that l' whole
affaire millison/jbor, as some wag tagged it recently, has been a bun-fight
constructed by millison around my use of a standard dictionary definition.
In fact, the disruptions to any and all discussions of the Holocaust and its
(non-)representation in _GR_ have been baulked at every turn, not by me, but
by Millison. And you, sir, seem only intent on adding to that "fuzz".
