Original Note:
It wasn't until the 1960's & 70's that the word "Holocaust" became widely used to refer to the attempted Nazi genocide of European Jews. Initially it was called the "C/Ḥurban," meaning “Destruction." Later, it was known as the "Sho'ah," meaning "Catastrophe." https://www.encyclopedia.com/philosophy-and-religion/judaism/judaism/holocaust https://www.britannica.com/story/what-is-the-origin-of-the-term-holocaust https://www.britannica.com/event/Holocaust https://www.britannica.com/topic/Shoah https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_the_Holocaust https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/how-an-american-tv-mini-series-helped-the-germans-
