I'm piqued by the usage of the term holocaust in 1940
Seems it wouldn't yet be part of American vernacular

That is still the second largest nightclub disaster in American history. Newspaper writers were much more colorful back then. Holocaust didn't have the same connotation it does now.

I'm wondering if the opposite is true. That the word holocaust was common until The Nazi's took it to an ungodly level and raised the bar on what it took to be a "holocaust".
