Etymology
The word holocaust comes from the Greek words holos, meaning “whole” or “entire,” and caustos, meaning “burn.”
During World War II, the mass killing of European Jews, Roma, Slavs, and people with physical or mental disabilities during Hitler’s regime was referred
to as a holocaust. It wasn’t until 1957, however, before it became a proper name, Holocaust.
