Do you think it would be normal for a question about the Holodomor to appear?

No, but the analogous question would be something like “where was Stalin born”.

It's not possible to mention or show Hitler without invoking the Holocaust, they're inseparable in the public consciousness. It would be like asking trivia about another genocide.

There's both a boatload of questions about Hitler that don't involve the Holocaust and a lot of topics that would inherently do if you ignore that fact.

Every question regarding the Jewish people could be seen as linked to that genocide too, just like Armenians and Rwandese. Can there be questions about those people that don't evolve the specifics of the particular genocide.
