The first recorded use of the word holocaust in the sense of genocide dates from 1942 but it was rarely used. It is said that Elie Wiesel popularized the word in its modern sense in the late 1950s. However, it didn't become widely used till the late 1970s following the first broadcast of the TV miniseries entitled Holocaust.
