Is the Holocaust Unique? Perspectives on Comparative Genocide is a 1995 book about the Holocaust uniqueness debate, edited by Alan Rosenbaum. In the book, scholars compare the Holocaust to other well-known instances of genocide and mass death. The book asks whether there are any historical parallels to the Jewish Holocaust and whether Armenians, Romani people, Native Americans, or others have undergone a comparable genocide.

As Alan Rosenbaum stated in regards to the book: Any attempt by any group to keep a monopoly on language is doomed to failure... Because anybody can use any language they want. And the term Holocaust has such power—as the paradigm case of genocide—that any group wanting to make a superlative case for its own experience would naturally want to borrow it.
A second edition was printed in 2000 and a third edition was released in 2009.
