Shoah or Ha Shoah
Shoah or Ha Shoah should be kept as a separate entry from Holocaust for several reasons. Not everybody knows the Hebrew meaning of these words, as cited elsewhere in Wikipedia and reproduced below.

[ Shoah or Ha Shoah (literally denoting a "catastrophic upheaval") is the Hebrew term for the genocide of two thirds of the European Jewish population during the Holocaust ].

Whether you look up "Shoah / Ha Shoah" or "Holocaust", you will find a cross reference to the other. Merging them would impede to educate Jewish and Gentiles alike into the meaning of the Hebrew term. Besides, if a merge is implemented, which Term will be selected as the entry?

As a 64 year old Jewish person and until a week ago had never known of the existence of, or the Hebrew meaning of the Term Shoah or Ha Shoah. There must be others in a similar situation.

The darkest page in the history of the 20th Century can certainly stand as many entries as possible to educate the World about this tragedy in the hope that by NEVER FORGETTING the Holocaust, it will never be allowed to happen again. Unfortunately WE HAVE HAD GENOCIDE OCCUR in several part of the Globe in the last 30 years with very little done to mitigate it, let alone forcefully prevented by the World Community. Genocide in any form and anywhere transcends the politics of any country or coalition of countries.

SHAME ON US ALL, JEWS AND GENTILES ALIKE!

Still ... we must never forget, never forget, never forget, never forget ...

Shalom
