Passover and the Holocaust are two different things. Passover refers to when God passed over the Hebrews in Egypt who had the blood of the lamb on their door and only killed the first born son in the families whose homes were no covered by the blood of the lamb. See Exodus chapters 11-12.The passover festival celebrates God freeing the Hebrews from bondage in Egypt. The holocaust on the other hand refers to the more than 12 million people killed by the Nazi's during World War II, 6 million of which were Jews. The holocaust is not celebrated rather it is remembered for the tragedy that it was.

In terms of historical origin and general activity it is much more similar to the Jewish Yom Kippur although the fast of Yom Ashura would be considered an unhappy fast whereas Yom Kippur is a happy fast.

In many languages other than English and German, Easter is known either as Passover or a derivative of the word. There is also a Christian festival named Passover, observed by small numbers of Protestants as they believe celebrating the event gives their worship greater authenticity (due to the fact that Christ, as a Jew, would have celebrated Passover) such as the United Church of God.Thus, Jewish Passover is a term used to distinguish the Jewish festival from those of other religious groups that observe the event - among Jews, this is not an issue since we usually refer to it as Pesach.
