I had a copy of this film in the late eighties...A true classic. It is without doubt one of the most violent western horrors ever made. The central idea of the plot, and the way it developed into the cannibals themselves fleeing from exploitation was genuis, as good as anything Romero or Argento could come up with.
I think it was issues of genuine animal cruelty, and child exploitation that led to the censors reaction to it in the UK. Films have included documentary footage of such things, and passed the uk censor, but never for purely entertainment value.
Although they are two entirely different films, I would rank Holocaust alongside The Living Dead At Manchester Morgue, as being well thought out, well developed, and well executed rollercoaster rides.
...and that bit when they took doggie bags...now that was just genuis.
