Luckily though determining which is “more of a tragedy” has absolutely no bearing on this discussion.
On the contrary. That’s exactly what this discussion is about. Adding a separate memorial day for the 20th century holocaust dilutes the significance of Tisha B’Av for many people, who view the destruction of the Temples as “old history” that doesn’t really matter in today’s world.
