Nope.
The Holocaust was indeed a genocide, but not every genocide is a Holocaust. There has only been one genocide which exhibited such detatched, industrial death, and on such a scale.
In Darfur the people are massacred by millitary raids in a medieval fashion, razing villages, pillaging and salting the earth. The anger and carnage of war feed these attrocities.
But in the Holocaust, millions of people were kidnapped, worked to death, gassed and burned in a mechanical, emotionless fashion, like things on a production line. This was not the work of some men who had been driven mad by battle, everything was calculated on paper first, all the logistics, transport, profits made.
true - and that is why it is so unthinkably horrific.
