 Holocaust word
In French, there is significant use of "holocauste" in the sense of an abhorrent immolation to honor or required by a pagan god and/or of a destruction inspired by stupidity or hate, a use encountered in writings of native English speakers fairly frequently before 1900 but rarely in the twentieth century.

 Ukrainian Holocaust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ukrainian Holocaust is a term used by some (mostly Ukrainian) historians to refer to the Holodomor, a 1932–33 famine and a major national catastrophe in Ukraine.
The usage of the term "Holocaust" in relation to the events of Holodomor has the emotional bearing that the events were engineered by the Soviets to specifically target the Ukrainian people in order to destroy the Ukrainians as a nation.
While the catastrophic scale of that famine is well established in the mainstream historiography as well as the fact that the famine was caused by the deliberate policies of the government of the Soviet Union (see Holodomor for details), some historians tend to criticize the politicising of the issue
