Holocaust.

That was the Jews' own name for it after the War, but Adolf Hitler and his Nazi High Command called it the "Final Solution" - the "problem", in Hitler's mind, being the existence of the Jews as well as that of coloured, Romany and homosexual people.

___________________


The Final Solution did not include any other groups than the Jews. This is not to take away from the persecution and devastation that the Romany suffered, they lost more people as a proportion than the Jews did. Also more groups than those mentioned suffered under the Nazis, but they were niether part of the Holocaust, nor part of the Final Solution.


The Jewish name for the Holocaust is 'Shoah'.
