Holocaust. The English-language term that has been most closely identified with the nearly successful attempt … to exterminate the Jews of Europe.
…
In the 1980s and 1990s the term Holocaust also began to be used by various scholars (e.g., historian Sybil Milton) and organizations (e.g., the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum) to describe the Nazis' attempt to exterminate other groups, specifically, the Roma and Sinti and the mentally and physically handicapped.
As Simon Wiesenthal, a survivor of Auschwitz, long ago observed, «The Holocaust was not only a matter of the killing of six million Jews. It involved the killing of eleven million people, six million of whom were Jews.» Wiesenthal spoke on the basis of what was then the best available evidence. Today, some 50 years later, the only correction to be made to his statement lies in the fact that we now believe his estimate of 11 million was far too low. The true human costs of Nazi genocide may come to 26 million or more, 5 to 6 million of whom were Jews, a half million to a million or more of whom were Gipsies, and the rest mostly Slavs. Only with these facts clearly in mind can we comprehend the full scope of the Holocaust and its real implications."
