The final soloution was the term to kill the Jews systematically.

Before that the Nazis were considering deportation to get rid of them, but the war situation made it less efficient to just keep lots of people in concentration camps.

Therefore Heydrich suggested the "final solution" 1942 to "the Jewish problem", which implied construction of death camps for industrial scale murdering.

Holocaust was a kind of burnt offering in the Jewish temple, with total burning.

The word holocaust was in sporadic use in English already at WWII, e.g. in Israel's independence declaration, but became known in the 1970s through a TV-series. The word describes the whole of the genocide of Jews, which also includes mass killings and violent persecution before 1942. The Jews normally use the term sho'ah (catastrophe).
