What exactly IS a holocaust? I ask you again. Main Entry: ho·lo·caust Pronunciation: 'hO-l&-"kost, 'hä- also -"käst or 'ho-l&-kost Function: noun Etymology: Middle English, from Old French holocauste, from Late Latin holocaustum, from Greek holokauston, from neuter of holokaustos burnt whole, from hol- + kaustos burnt, from kaiein to burn —more at CAUSTIC Date: 13th century 1 : a sacrifice consumed by fire 2 : a thorough destruction involving extensive loss of life especially through fire <a nuclear holocaust> Of course the Zionists have appropriated the word for themselves, in capitalized form, to mean the alleged Nazi atrocities against them, homosexuals,communists,and gypsies.
