"History and evidence will sort out the truth from propaganda.
That doesn't seem too likely. I can't think of any cases where it has. If anything it works the other way.
"Holocaust" seems a fair term to use where millions of people get wiped out by human actions. The question of how far that was preplanned by government is important, but it's not the central question, which is whether the deaths happened, and whether that could have been prevented. It's very reasonable to apply it to what happened in Ukraine in the 1920s and Ireland in the 1940s.
