Holocaust

The Holocaust was the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by Nazi Germany during World War II. Alongside Jewish victims, millions of other groups—including Romani people, disabled individuals, Poles, and political opponents—were targeted. Under Adolf Hitler’s regime, Jews were dehumanized, forced into ghettos, and murdered in mass killings and extermination camps like Auschwitz. The Holocaust represents one of history’s gravest atrocities, highlighting the dangers of hatred, racism, and intolerance. It underscores the importance of remembering and learning from this tragic chapter to prevent future genocides.
