Well the term Holocaust as applied to the systematic murder of
Jews by Nazis in WWII certainly was in use before the 1970's. There are
numerous examples in the literature, here are just a few....
Some examples:
1942 _News Chronical_ Dec 5 "Holocaust...Nothing else in Hitler's record
is comparable to his treatment of the Jews...The word has gone forth
that...the Jewish peoples are to be exterminated...The conscience of
humanit stands aghast."
1943 _House of Lords, Hansard_ Mar 23 "The Nazis go on killing...If this
rule could be relaxed, some hundreds and possibly a few thousands, might
be enabled to escape from this holocaust."
1945 _Legal Claims Against Germany", p. vi "Millions of survivng victims
of the Nazi holocaust, Jews and non-Jews, will stand before us in years to
come."
1949 _Proc. Amer. Acad. for Jewish Research_ XVIII, p.193 (in article
problems of Jewish Hurban research).
1957 _Yad Washem Bull._ April (heading) "Research on the Holocaust Period"
1958 _Yad Washem Bull._ July "The catastrophe which overtook us..The
Inquisition...is not the same as the Holocaust"
1962 _Diamond_, B. Glanville, xviii p.296, "the holocaust...was the
inevitable end, the logical conclusion of the pogroms, the Mosley marches,
the hatred.
1965 _The holocaust kingdom_, A.Donat (title)
1967 _Warrant for Genocide_, N.Cohn, ix p.208, "By the autumn of 1944 the
holocaust was nearing its conclusion."
1968 _Manchester Guardian Weekly_ 25 April "There is now within modern
history a compartment of "holocaust studies"- dealing with the wholesale
destruction by the Nazis of European Jewry".
1972 _Odessa File_, F. Forsyth p .306 "The mausoleum of Yad Vashem,...the
shrine to six million of his fellow Jews who died in the holocaust."
: A Holocaust is a fiery conflagration. Wouldnt the bombing of Dresden or
: Hiroshima more aptly be a Holocaust and its victims be Holocaust
: victims?
There are several meanings of the term holocaust and the history of the
word can be traced back to the 12th century and derives from the French
holocauste and the Latin holocaustum and means "whole" and "burnt". So it
is understood to mean a sacrifice consumed by fire or complete consumption
by fire, especially of a large number of persons, and a great slaughter or
massacre. In terms of WWII, it specifically refers to the mass murder of
the Jews by the Nazis. It can also be used to describe the genocide of
other groups, but used in the context of WWII it is specific to Nazi
murder of Jews.
: Do Holocaust victims have to be Jewish?
No. The Nazis murdered around 12 million human beings. Six million were
Jews, six million were non-Jews of various kinds such as Romani people and
homosexuals, and physically and mentally disabled, and "non-Aryans". (The
Nazi leadership seem to have been excluded from these criteria, otherwise
they would also have been murdered for being physically or mentally
disabled, homosexual or "non-Aryan".)

You forget the first one. Note the first use of six million also.
1919 --We find the use of the term six million as far back as 1919<sup>1</sup>
in regard to Jews in Germany. This speech even blames it partially on a
"<strong>bigoted lust for jewish blood</strong>." And this is the only such
blame of bigotry or blood related to Jews to come out of WW I.
"<strong>Six million men and women are dying</STRONG> from lack of the
necessaries of life; eight hundred thousand children cry for bread. And
<strong>this fate</strong> is upon them through <strong>no fault of their
own</strong>, through no transgression of the laws of God or man; but through
the awful tyranny of war and a <strong>bigoted lust for jewish blood</strong>.
"In this <strong>threatened holocaust of human life</strong>, forgotten are
the niceties of philosophical distinction, forgotten are the differences of
historical interpretation; and the determination to help the helpless, to
shelter the homeless, to clothe the naked and to feed the hungry becomes a
religion at whose altar men of every race can worship and women of every creed
can kneel..."
