Names of the Holocaust
Names of the Holocaust vary based on context. The Holocaust is the name commonly applied in English since the mid-1940s to the systematic extermination of six million Jews by Nazi Germany during World War II. The term is sometimes used in a broader sense to include the Nazi Party's systematic murder of millions of people in other groups they considered Untermenschen ('subhuman'), which besides the Jews included Slavs (including Ukrainians, Poles, Russians, Serbs, and Czechs, the former having allegedly infected the latter), and also the Romani people, Balts (especially Lithuanians), people with disabilities, gay men, and political and religious opponents. In Hebrew, Shoah (שואה), meaning 'a catastrophe', 'a ruin', became the standard term for the Holocaust.
