Originally a Bible word for "burnt offerings," given wider figurative sense of "massacre, destruction of a large number of persons" from 1670s. The Holocaust "Nazi genocide of European Jews in World War II," first recorded 1957, earlier known in Hebrew as Shoah "catastrophe." The word itself was used in English in reference to Hitler's Jewish policies from 1942, but not as a proper name for them.’ 4
Continued English Review of The Tattooist of Aushwitz (for parents, KS4 and KS5) I really struggled on how to pass this book onto other people as you definitely cannot say, "here is a book you will enjoy". I didn't enjoy it, but I am so glad I read it. I think everyone should know as much about Auschwitz as possible. I have read a few books about the persecution of Jews and this is definitely one of the best written. You are completely immersed in the main character, his strength and his positivity. One of the best books I have read in the last 5 years. Mrs Smith—English D.T. Late addition to the Opportunities Newsletter from D.T, an exciting opportunity….
