I’ve seen people talk about actors and artists that had a terrible time.
My own would be Anne Rice. She wrote Interview with the Vampire after her young daughter died of Leukemia. Then her husband suddenly died of a brain hemorrhage. I suspect her Christian, anti-fanfic phase was a result of mental illness and manipulation from the publishers, although I don’t think she ever apologized.
Iris Chang wrote The Rape of Nanking about the atrocities by the Japanese army during WW2 to the city of Nanking in China. The material is so horrifying she fell into a deep depression and committed suicide. It’s worth a read if you want to learn about a mostly forgotten holocaust of WW2 in China
You can’t just call every wild evil massacre “a Holocaust”, that’s insanely stupid and devalues what makes the Holocaust special even among genocides
It’s literally the name of the book. Also, holocaust is “the destruction or slaughter on a mass scale”. Using the same term doesn’t minimize other historical events
