		The Encyclopedia of Jewish Life Before and During the Holocaust reclaims the distinctive culture of thousands of Jewish communities lost during the Holocaust.
		The Encyclopedia of Jewish Life Before and During the Holocaust fills that gap, and does so in a comprehensive and exacting fashion.

	The Holocaust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Early elements of the Holocaust include the Kristallnacht pogrom of the 8th and 9th November 1938 and the T-4 Euthanasia Program, progressing to the later use of killing squads and extermination camps in a massive and centrally organized effort to exterminate every possible member of the populations targeted by the Nazis.
		Homosexuals were also targets of the Holocaust, as homosexuality was deemed incompatible with Nazism because of their failure to reproduce the "master race." This was combined with homophobia and the belief among the Nazis that homosexuality could be contagious.
		The Holocaust was geographically widespread and systematically conducted in virtually all areas of Nazi-occupied territory, where Jews and other victims were targeted in what are now 35 separate European nations, and sent to labor camps in some nations or extermination camps in others.

	Adana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The disturbances were most severe in the city of Adana where a reported 4,437 Armenian dwellings were torched, resulting in the razing of nearly half the town and prompting some to describe the resulting inferno as a "holocaust." The outbreaks spread throughout the district and an estimated 30,000 Armenians were reported killed.
		In Adana all the houses are flat-topped and the roofs serve as the bedrooms for the inhabitants during the hot summers.
		Adana was of little importance in ancient history; Tarsus, Ayas/Issus (today Yumurtalik), and Kozan (formerly Sis) have usually been the major population and administrative centers, especially during the Kingdom of Lesser Armenia.

	The Holocaust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Holocaust was justified by claiming that the victims were Untermenschen, i.e., 'underlings' or 'subhumans', who were seen as both biologically inferior and (in the case of Jews) a potential challenge to the superiority of the 'Aryans'.
		There is also concern that the particular significance of the Holocaust would be lessened as use of the term becomes increasingly widespread in the latter half of the 20th century to refer generically to any mass killings such as the Rwandan Genocide and the actions of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia as 'holocausts'.
		The Holocaust is the name applied to the systematic state-sponsored persecution and genocide of various ethnic, religious and political groups during World War II by Nazi Germany and its collaborators.

	Silicone holocaust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The question whether and to what extent women actually died as a consequence of the use of silicone breast implants is also disputed, and many consider use of the term "Holocaust" to describe so-called "lesser evils" than mass murder and genocide a dilution of the original meaning of the word and hence inappropriate.

	Silent Holocaust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word silent implies that it is not meant to be a comparison in terms of the murders that took place during the original European Holocaust, but rather, it is meant to evoke a state of shock that millions of Jews are abandoning Judaism and their fellow Jews albeit of their own free will.
		Assimilation [1] is the leading cause for the shrinkage of almost all Jewish populations in Western countries since World War II, and it has been called the Silent Holocaust [2] by communal leaders such as Rabbi Ephraim Buchwald of the National Jewish Outreach Program, perhaps the best-known popularizer of the phrase.

	Nuclear warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The submarines and their missile systems were very expensive (one fully equipped nuclear powered nuclear missile submarine could easily cost more than the entire GNP of a third world nation), but the greatest cost came in the development of both sea- and land-based anti-submarine defenses and in improving and strengthening the chain of command.
		Only if a nuclear conflict were extended into a number of 'spasm' strikes would direct strikes against civilians occur as the more accurate weapons would be expended early; if one side was 'losing', the potential for using less accurate submarine-launched missiles would occur.
		Another major shift in nuclear doctrine was the development of the submarine-based nuclear missile, the SLBM.

	Democratic Kampuchea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Like their Chinese counterparts, the Cambodian communists had great faith in the inventive power and the technical aptitude of the masses, and they constantly published reports of peasants' adapting old mechanical parts to new uses.
		Despite the fact that Chinese and Sino-Khmers had dominated the Cambodian economy for centuries and could be considered exploiters of the peasantry, the Khmer Rouge apparently did not single them out for harsh treatment.
		In the meantime, as 1978 wore on, Cambodian bellicosity in the border areas surpassed Hanoi's threshold of tolerance.

	Endor Holocaust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		If the Endor Holocaust occurred, it would certainly have led to the extinction of the majority of life on the Sanctuary Moon, including the Ewoks, unless significant efforts were made to counter the induced climactic changes.
		The fictional Endorian Holocaust is a devastation of the forest moon of Endor which is theorized to have happened after the second Death Star was destroyed (in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi) by the impact of falling debris.
		The anti-Holocaust faction insist that because the film did not show debris hitting Endor (although it showed some debris burning up in the atmosphere), and that it would be uncharacteristic for the Rebel characters to callously celebrate amid a friendly population doomed by their actions.
