Today’s paper is the first time I recall the word “holocaust” being used to refer to what the Nazis were doing to Europe’s Jews.

Today’s paper is the first time I recall the word “holocaust” being used to refer to what the Nazis were doing to Europe’s Jews.

I haven't seen it used that way before either. ("Palestine Zionist Find Outlook Dark," pg. 12, para. 3.) A noteworthy find.

Thanks for pointing that out!
Here is the context:

"Undoubtedly Palestine Jewry, too, has been bitterly disappointed by the outcome of the Bermuda conference.
It is stated among Jews here, first, that the recomendations by American and British delegates as finally adopted by those governments were likely to be of insuffieient scope to provide for the rescue of any large number of the hundreds of thousands of European Jews still surviving the Nazi holocaust."
