The term Shoah usually translated into English as Holocaust did not become the standard term describing the catastrophe that befell the Jews of Europe during the second world war until some years after the war ended. In this article I propose to illustrate that linguistic conceptualization of the fate of European Jewry under the nazis reveals the process of internalization of the Holocaust among the Jews of Palestine the Yishuv -and Israel. The period in question begins in 1942, when the first public announcement on the Final Solution or the decision by the nazis to annihilate European Jewry was made, until August 1953,1 when the Israeli Knesset (parliament) ratified the Yad Vashem Law (YV Law)2 The Law of Remembrance of the Holocaust and Heroism
