So I was wrong.  I thought the h0Ɩ0cαųst was a new term used in 1948, but here it is in the New York Times as early as 1936! (And later too - see minute 18:00 ) They don't capitalize the H, though. They say the "eastern European h0Ɩ0cαųst."
.
So the eastern European h0Ɩ0cαųst was in the planning stages - BY Jєωιѕн SYMPATHIZERS - for a year or two before Hitler got the ball of WWII rolling.
.
Curiously, they say in several years before 1930 that 6 million Jєωs was "half the world's Jєωιѕн population." But then they also say (repeatedly through the years) that 6 million Jєωs are in peril, before WWII had started.

Very interesting.

Let me guess: If we do a search in old newspaper articles for any obscure report of "gas chambers" and "cremation ovens" being used in Germany, we will come up empty-handed.
.
Oh, but we shouldn't be surprised, after all, when the American soldiers liberated the prison camps, they could find no German guards anywhere. And grown men in the local towns claimed to have been entirely unaware that a concentration or labor camp was being run in the next block over. "We know nothing!!" Think of Schultz in Hogan's Heroes.
.
And it was only years later, when journalists started interviewing survivors of the camps that they started to put together the story of witnesses who claimed to have seen the gas chambers or heard of the ovens.
.
But then when independent forensic researchers went to Germany to investigate, they could find no traces of any poison chemicals anywhere. They took samples of the wall plaster, and doors, and scrapings from the pipes that served to shower water in the common bath rooms. The only chemical residue to be found was one common insecticide used to kill lice, but it was harmless to humans. Nor could they find any sign of technology or architectural details that would be essential for the guards' safety if poison gas were applied. They took samples of the ash in the incinerator areas and only found ash from burned garbage, but none from human remains.
