Usage notes

 * According to the , use of the word to refer to the mass murder of Jews by Nazi Germany dates back to 1942. By the 1970s, “the Holocaust” was often synonymous with the Jewish exterminations. This use of the term has been criticised because it appears to imply that there was a voluntary religious purpose behind the Nazi actions, which was not the case from either the perspective of the Nazis or the victims. Hence, some people prefer the term, which is Hebrew for “catastrophe”.
 * The word continues to be used in its other senses. For example, part of the action of the radio drama  (1981) by the English author and screenwriter  (1939–2021) takes place in “Holocaust City”, so named because the inhabitants were the only survivors of a global nuclear war. However, this usage is considered by some to be Holocaust trivialization and thus to be avoided.
