Subject: RE: BS: The U.S. and the Holocaust
I agree that the capitalisation of the H draws a line between the genocide of the Jews and other forms of mass slaughter, but you can't capitalise it in speech unless you say clumsy things such as "the Holocaust with a capital H."

Context will normally make it clear.
