When capitalized, as the Holocaust, the term refers quite specifically to the Nazi genocide of the Jews. This began in 1941. The two dates preferred for the start are either 8 December 1941, when routine mass gassings of Jews began at Chelmno, or 25 June 1941 when the Nazi mobile killing squads went into action in Lithuania. The term was consciously chosen in preference to the earlier term Final Solution [of the Jewish Question], which was the Nazis' own term. The holocaust with a small 'h' often refers to the wider Nazi killings on the basis of group identity. (Please see related question). The period of persecution that preceded the Holocaust is not normally included in the Holocaust. There is, after all, a difference between persecution and mass murder or genocide. In late 1941 the great majority of Jews in Nazi held territory were still alive, but two years later most were dead.
