Why is the name Holocaust used to describe Hitler's atrocities against Jews in Europe in World War 2?
The word "Holocaust" means a huge and terrible fire. It probably came into use as a reflection on the incinerating of victims after being gassed, and the burning down of so many Jewish businesses and synagogues. Jewish people do not call it the "Holocaust", they call it the "Shoah", though I don't know what that word means in Hebrew.
