Final Solution document

The "Final Solution" refers to Nazi Germany's plan during World War II to systematically exterminate the Jewish population of Europe. Formulated in 1942, it aimed to eliminate all Jews through mass killings and established extermination camps, like Auschwitz. This horrific policy led to the deaths of approximately six million Jews, alongside millions of others deemed undesirable. It remains a central example of the dangers of hatred and prejudice, serving as a stark reminder of the consequences of intolerance in society. The term is often used in discussions about genocide and human rights violations.
