I'm also wondering difference of those two cuz I met one Holocaust Survivor today and she said holocaust and the shoah is kinda different
-------------------------------------
Shoah is the word that the Jews use for the attempted extermination of the Jews by the Nazis. This word is used in preference to the word Holocaust for three main reasons:
The Holocaust is used by many to describe all of the victims of Nazi extermination policies.
The definition of Holocaust implies sacrifice and many Jews consider this inappropriate as there was no sacrifice involved.
The word (or term) Holocaust is currently being hijacked by many other people resulting in it's meaning being eliminated, for example 'Animal Holocaust or African Holocaust or 'Today's Holocaust'. Or 'motorway Holocaust' just to describe a car crash, which obviously is almost the same as the Holocaust.
