Incidentally, that's what "Holocaust" means, and why many instead use the word "Shoah." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_the_Holocaust https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_the_Holocaust > The word "holocaust" originally derived from the Greek word holokauston, meaning "a completely (holos) burnt (kaustos) sacrificial offering," or "a burnt sacrifice offered to a god." > In Judaism, Shoah (שואה), meaning "calamity" in Hebrew, became the standard term for the 20th century Holocaust[2] (see Yom HaShoah). This is because 'Holocaust' connotes a sacrifice, and Jewish leaders argue there was no sacrifice.
