The Holocaust was a unique historical event, a novum, partly because its primary victims, the European Jews, were a unique people in the context of European history. In consuming them by fire, Europe, not Nazi Germany alone, destroyed its own most representative children in a massive and unprecedented act of cannibalism.
1 The Holocaust began in 1933 when Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany and ended in 1945 when the Nazis were defeated by the Allied powers. 2  The term Holocaust, originally from the Greek word holokauston which means sacrifice by fire, refers to the Nazi's persecution and planned slaughter of the Jewish people. The Hebrew word Shoah, which means devastation, ruin, or waste, is also used for this genocide. 2  In addition to Jews, the Nazis targeted Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and the disabled for persecution. 3  Anyone who resisted the Nazis was sent to forced labor or murdered.
