Holocaust. A sacrifice completely consumed by fire, and thus a perfect sacrifice. Less accurately, the word is also used of a sacrifice with many victims. Since the 1950s it has come to be applied absolutely (‘the Holocaust’) to the Nazi persecution of European Jews between 1933 and 1945; this culminated in the attempt to exterminate them in the gas chambers of concentration camps in E. Europe.
