  4. It is important to note that the term "Holocaust", although it had been used before (for instance by Richard of Devizes in his Chronicon written in 1192), was not of common usage among the general public until after the appearance of the Holocaust TV miniseries in 1978. For example, William Shirer's 1961 book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich does not mention the word "Holocaust".
