The term holocaust originally derived from the Greek word halekaustann, meaning a "completely (holos) burnt (kaustos)" sacrificial offering to a god. Since the late 19th century, "holocaust" has primarily been used to refer to disasters or catastrophes. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word was first used to describe Hitler's treatment of the Jews from as early as 1942, though it did not become a standard reference until the 1950s. By the late 1970s, however, the conventional meaning of the word became the Nazi genocide. The term is also used by many in a narrower sense, to refer specifically to the unprecedented destruction of European Jews in particular. Some historians credited Elie Wiesel with giving the term 'Holocaust' its present meaning. The biblical word Shoa also spelled Shoah and Sho'ah, meaning "calamity" in Hebrew, became the standard Hebrew term for the Holocaust as early as the early 1940s.Shoa is preferred by many Jews and a growing number of others for a number of reasons, including the potentially theologically offensive nature of the original meaning of the word holocaust.
The word "genocide" was coined during the Holocaust. In 1944, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace published Raphael Lemkin's most important work, entitled Axis Rule in Occupied Europe, in the United States. This book included an extensive legal analysis of German rule in countries occupied by Nazi Germany during the course of World War II, along with the definition of the term genocide.

It began with Krystalnacht November 9th 1938, however the oppression of the jews began when Hitler took power in 1933. the "WWII" holocaust ended at the end of WWII, The jewish people still face people to this day that would prefer to have them "Wiped off the planet". Most recently the Iranian president voiced his wish to see this happen.

the death of millions of people is not enough for many.
Some people say "the holocaust" was hoax, and Hitler was vilified even the political left in the US is denying it to some degree and do not think Israel should have it's own state.

I've spoken with WWII veterans who liberated several different concentration camps. Each one describes the horror of witnessing the remnants of corpses the SS tried to hide toward the end of the 3rd reich. We must not forget it, or we are doomed to repeat it.

Officially the German Holocaust against Jews, gypsies, Slavs and all people considered inferior by the Nazi Arian race, started the 20th of January 1942 with the "Wansee Conference" in which the German Nazi party agreed to initiate the "Final Solution" (euphemism for extermination) of inferior races.

It went on until 1945 when Russian, American, British, Polish,Canadian,Australian and French troops liberated around 58 Extermination Camps managed by Germans all over Europe.

(See "Wansee Conference" in the Internet)

The persecution of the Jews in Germany happened almost as soon as Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933 and increased in intensity as time went on. Following the outbreak of the Second World War Jews were subject to being forced to live in ghettos (where many died), work in labour camps (ditto) or shot in the street.

The actual gassing of Jews at extermination camps was happening in 1941, but only become 'official' policy (although it was never explicitly written down as such) following the Wannesee Conference of 1942. The gassings were stopped just before the Red Army liberated Poland in 1945.
