Okay, well we will agree to disagree on the six million figure. Through 5 years of research I could find no proof for the 6 million figure only hearsay from known liars. The proof I found was not of a genocide deniers pleasure in discovering a revisionist history, no, I simply looked through population and emigration reports, camp records from the Germans and Soviets, and Switzerland, census data on detained Jews, etc, and so, I like other revisionists came to the figure 2.5 million and nearly 1 million who were exterminated and executed by the Nazis and to a lesser extent the Soviets. That is 5 years of research and I tried very hard to prove that 6 million died, this just isn't the case. I based this for a long time on the 4.5 million gassed figure which was propagandized for thirty years before mainstream scholars had to lower the number by three fold, and in some cases 5 fold in various camps, which might have been delousing chambers to begin with. SInce we can't trust most sources and there are estimates that are under and over exaggerated, I researched these claims. And I, personally came to a 2.5 million figure.

Now as for the original definition of the Holocaust. Your source says the lower-case “holocaust” has described the violent deaths of large groups of people probably since the 18th century.

So, they certainly are not sure when this definition was used for other purposes. Though they have an idea.

It should be noted that a holocaust is a religious animal sacrifice that is completely consumed by fire. The word derives from the Ancient Greek holokaustos, "whole" and καυστός "burnt", with rough breathing), which is used solely for one of the major forms of sacrifice, "burnt offering" in Ancient Israel.

A "burnt offering" – from the verb "to cause to ascend," hence "burn") is a type of Biblical sacrifice in which the entire sacrifice is completely burnt, consumed totally by fire. It was used by the ancient Israelites. And might have been used for this genocide to denote a sacrafice of Jews for the founding of Israel, as biblical prophecy. It isn't too crazy to say this considering many Zionists, even those who were Nazis, were quite outspoken in advocating for a major pogrom or war that would push the Jewish diaspora eastward towards Israel, exactly what happened. Hitler in fact claims in Mein Kampf that Zionism was a great ideology, for obvious reasons.

So, they make it know in their memiors that a suffering must take place, and that antisemities must be our friends. The suffering and death had to take place according to them.
