Usually, at least in an American context, the argument is that applying "Holocaust" to the killing of Jews is offensive because the word basically means "burnt offering", so "Shoah" (Hebrew for "catastrophy") should be the name instead of "Holocaust".
I agree with that, but I don't think it's a pressing issue and we're already talking about an institute that emphatically uses the older term, if you're wondering why I didn't mention it.
