Yiddish: Language spoken by many Jews in Eastern Europe; a combination of German, Hebrew and dialects of the countries in which Jews were living.

OR

Yom Kippur: Day of Atonement and a time for repenting and fasting.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zyklon B: A chemical developed as an insecticide, the pellets of which were shaken down an opening in the euphemistically called “shower rooms,” or gas chambers. The Nazis found this to be a quicker, cheaper and more reliable method of mass killing than carbon monoxide.

OR
