What does holocasut mean?

The term "Holocaust" refers to the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews and millions of others, including Roma, disabled individuals, political dissidents, and various minority groups, by the Nazi regime and its collaborators during World War II. The term itself originates from the Greek Word "holokauston," meaning "sacrifice by fire." The Holocaust stands as a stark reminder of the consequences of hatred, discrimination, and intolerance. Its memory is preserved through education and remembrance efforts to prevent such atrocities from happening again.
