The craziest part about the word Holocaust is that the only time it shows up in the Bible it’s to refer to a “burnt offering” of charred flesh and fat offered to YHWH in Genesis.
That's interesting, I actually had to look that one up. I don't remember ever seeing the word Holocaust in the Bible, but I only ever read the King James version. But you're right, they do use it in the Catholic translations, specifically when instructing Abraham to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice. The King James version replaces that term with "burnt offering".
If I had to guess, it's to promote themselves to a separate special class,above everybody else.
Racism is bad, but antisemitism is super duper extra bad.
Genocide is bad, but the Holocaust was super duper extra bad.
Whatever the topic, having a separate term allows them to make the topic about them. It's narcissism.
