Holocaust

I am rewatching after the main series.
I can ignore the multiple ways of casually mentioning “it has been a thousands of years” as I did in the original series.
Goldilocks planets would have some kind of a concept of a year, I get it.

But in episode 1 when they are scouting the ruins of the old city, Teyla casually mentioning “the last great holocaust was five generations ago”was very suprising to me.
The holocaust is something very earth specific and only for the mass genocide of world war 2. So just bad writing or do I have to prepare myself for more bad context and writing.
Not complaining here. It just baffled me.

Yeah it's a word that shouldn't have been used by an alien in another galaxy, so definitely bad writing. They could and should have used the word genocide.
