The '''etymology of the term [[the Holocaust]]''' is controversial with argued less politically correct aspects.

==History==
In the aftermath of the war, within their own circles, Jews used the biblical [[Hebrew]] term ''Shoah'', meaning "calamity or destruction", to refer to their experiences during the war. This is generally the word which Jews continue to use amongst themselves, especially in [[Israel]]. The term Holocaust is often disliked, due to referring to a Greek religious custom.

The term ''Holocaust'' ([[Greek]]: ''Holókauston'') is an ancient term referring to an animal sacrifice offered to a god, in which the whole (''olos'') animal is completely burnt (''kaustos''). It has been used in Western history to describe large-scale killings, in particular those associated with burning.

In the 1960s, the word holocaust has been argued to most often refer to the during the [[Cold War]] greatly feared nuclear war, and consequent destruction by "fire" from nuclear weapons. Jewish writers in the United States have been argued to have gradually switched from other words to holocaust, in order to associate with this widespread fear. Later, other usages were gradually forgotten and the word became capitalized ("The Holocaust").<ref>Jon Petrie investigates the etymology of the word "Holocaust" http://www.fpp.co.uk/Auschwitz/docs/HolocaustUsage.html</ref>
