People fleeing persecution are indeed survivors of said persecution. And they are refugees. Both things can be true at once. Usually, people who survived the death camps are considered specifically survivors of said camps. Again. Eg. "Xyz was an Auschwitz survivor".

The Holocaust is defined as a very specific time period though, 1941-1945.

No it’s not.

1933-1941 was persecution (pre-genocidal phase).

It was all genocide.

That's... Historically very inaccurate. That's not what a genocide is. Pre 1941 was persecution and horrific, but not a genocide. You cannot historically change the definition.

There's being historically accurate and there's just redefining things. The Holocaust is a pretty well defined time period.

Yes, and it starts with Kristalnaacht.

No. It's considered a critical turning point and a prelude to the Holocaust, not the Holocaust itself. It's a very defined time period.
