The answer is Holocaust.

Although the term used to refer to the systematic killing of groups of people due to ethnicity, race, or religion is known as genocide, the genocide of Jews during World War II has passed down to history as the Holocaust.

The word Holocaust is a Greek translation of a hebrew word that means a burnt sacrifice offered whole to God, this word makes reference to how Jews were killed in the extermination camps.
