The Holocaust was a horrible time in the history of Europe. Many Jews and other minorities were sent to camps where they were forced to work very hard for veryl little food, and most died of exhaustion, starvation or by either being shot or gassed. Many Jewish people do not like to talk about this terrible time in their history. _______ Some consciously avoid the word Holocaustand use the word Shoah instead. The reason is that holocaust is derived from a Greek word meaning burnt sacrifice, and very few people believe that the Nazi genocide of the Jews has any religious significance. The word shoah, which means great calamity, catastrophe in Hebrew avoids the kinds of misunderstandings that the word holocaust may give rise to. (Any suggestion that the Jews in the Holocaust were the 'lamb [taking] away the sins of the world' is at best bewildering and at worst is seen as blasphemous. Very, very few people have suggested or implied that the Holocaust had any such significance).
