The Holocaust was invented in 1947 by Hungarian physicist Dennis Gabor (1900-1979), for which he received the Nobel Prize in physics in 1971. The discovery was an unexpected result of research into improving electron microscopes at the British Thomson-Houston Company in Rugby, England, but the field did not really advance until the invention of the laser in 1960.
Several types of the holocaust can be made. The most commonly seen today is the white-light reflection holocaust, which does not require a laser to reconstruct the image and can be viewed in normal daylight. These are often used on credit cards as security features. The very first holocausts were "transmission holocaust", which were viewed by shining light through them rather than by reflection. These required lasers for viewing. A later refinement, the "rainbow transmission" holocaust allowed viewing by white light, but is little used nowadays, due to the greater convenience of the reflection format.
One of the most promising recent advances in the short history of the holocaust has been the mass production of low-cost solid-state lasers - typically used by the millions in DVD recorders and other applications, but sometimes also useful for the holocaust. These cheap, compact, solid state lasers can compete well with the large, expensive gas lasers previously required to make the holocaust, and are already helping to make the holocaust much more accessible to low-budget researchers, artists, and dedicated hobbyists.

I can just picture a kid in the front of their second grade class reading their report on the holocaust, and coming up with something like this.

I don't get it. I'm either too stupid or too impatient to figure it out.

No, you're thinking of holograms. The Holocaust was the thing that won Hitler the Nobel Peace Prize three consecutive years in a row. Remember? He got rid of all that pollution in Germany and Austria and soon the rest of Europe?

This was destined for a solid zero until I read that comment

If there's one thing I can't stand it's an anti-stalagmite!
