Nazi war crimes
Nazi war crimes refer to severe violations of human rights committed by Nazi Germany during World War II. These included the systematic persecution and extermination of millions, especially Jews, through mass shootings, gas chambers, and forced labor. The Nazis also invaded and occupied countries, committing atrocities against civilians, such as torture, enslavement, and destruction of communities. These crimes were driven by a hateful ideology promoting racial superiority and resulted in immense suffering and loss of life, leading to international efforts for justice and the establishment of war crimes tribunals to hold perpetrators accountable.
