      Denying part of the holocaust is definitionally holocaust denial.

      It really isn’t “definitionally” Holocaust denial. “Holocaust denial” as a linguist concept as understood by most people has nothing at all to do with denying the burning of trans literature.

        “Deniers assert that the Holocaust is a fabrication or exaggeration,[3][4][5]making one or more of the following false claims:”

        and then an incomplete list of holocaust denialist claims. Thats from your own link

        J K Rowling is claiming the holocaust is exaggereted in them tweets, therefore: denying part of the holocaust as defined by the above.

        and holocaust denial is an academic term with a pretty precise definition, as much as it is a colloqial one.
