When referring to the Nazi genocide of the Jews it is called the Holocaust with the definite article and a capital H. If the word is used to refer to something else, then use a small (lower-case) h.

Yes, in reference to the Jewish Extermination policies of Nazi Germany- in lower case merely applied to any large or destructive fire- such as wild fires and forest fires. It was used in this sense in the television drama- Lassie.

When referring to the systemic murders of Jews by Nazis in WWII, which I suspect you are, then YES, it’s written as the Holocaust. Note that only "Holocaust" is capitalized, not "the."

Holocaust is capatalized because it is a major event in history. It is a title, The Holocaust.
