Holocaust

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, Holocaust has been mentioned in 3 episodes across 3 podcasts, first heard Aug 2025 on The Ezra Klein Show. Podcasts reference the Holocaust to discuss contemporary issues related to anti-Semitism and genocide. In "I've Had It," the speaker uses it as a moral benchmark to criticize current actions, emphasizing the importance of remembering its lessons. Meanwhile, in "HasanAbi," the term 'genocide' is linked to the Holocaust, sparking a debate about its implications in the context of Israel.

The Holocaust, known in Hebrew as the Shoah, was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. From 1941 to 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population. The murders were committed primarily through mass shootings across Eastern Europe and poison gas chambers in extermination camps, chiefly Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, and Chełmno in occupied Poland.
