Wannsee Conference in 150 Facts. Terminology

In this book, both “Holocaust” and “Shoah” refer to genocide (serial mass murder) of the Jews committed by the Nazis. I will often use the term “Holocaust Project” to show that it was a murderous project.

“Holocaust by Gas” (which accounts for 78% of death toll) refers to extermination of Jews in six killing centers (death factories). They were not “camps” in a normal sense, so I do not use the term “death camp”.

“Holocaust by Bullets” refers to serial mass shooting of Jews in the Soviet Union (mostly) as well as in Yugoslavia and Romania (where it was the preferred method). I do not like the term “Nazis” (I prefer “National-Socialists”) but I will use the former for the sake of brevity.
