The Holocaust was the systematic murder of European Jews during World War II. It was carried out by the German government, with help from its collaborators. Although most of the killing took place in Nazi-occupied Europe, there were also deaths in German-occupied territories, such as Poland and Greece.
The Nazis believed that the Jews were an inferior race and needed to be eliminated in order to create a pure Aryan society. The Nazi Party’s leader, Adolf Hitler, believed that Jews were responsible for the world’s problems and that they should be killed. He believed that the Aryan race was superior to other races and wanted Germany to expand eastward so it could take over more territory where there were Jews living.
The Nazis used propaganda to spread their message of hate and to convince the German people that the Jews were a danger to society. They controlled all forms of media in Germany so they could control what people heard about Jews and other minorities like Roma (Gypsies). They also used violence and terror to intimidate and terrorize the Jewish population into submission once they started rounding up people for concentration camps or death camps where they would systematically kill them off one by one until there wasn’t anyone left alive anymore!
