the holocaust in TO THE LIGHTHOUSE

[Mark Kohut]

published in 1927, Ms Woolf has a character who thinks
dramatically, shall we say, use this word to describe a
major disaster that does not happen regarding her husband
and a situation....."not a holocaust" she says to herself.....

Where it also does not contain the burning/ burnt offering
major meaning of the word long before the historic Holocaust
but is used as Pynchon does in GR, I believe. (along with the
established 'burning' meaning but not directly alluding to the Holocaust,
I also think I remember, without looking anything up. )
