The Holocaust
The genocide of approximately six million European Jews and millions of others duringWorld War II, a programme of systematic state-sponsored murder by Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, throughout Nazi-occupied territory.
Found when Allies began to liberate Europe.
Concentration camps were established in which inmates were used as slave labor until they died of exhaustion or disease.
Killing of Jews were carried out by the Nazis, who were ordered to do so by Hitler
Hundred's of thousands of gypsies were killed during the holocaust because the Germans thought they were selfish pests who practiced witchcraft.
Part of Hilter's 'Final Solution'
Scientists were brought in to find the most effective way to kill the mass numbers of Jews
Overworked to death, starved to death, killed by machine guns, dogs, died of disease and sent to gas chambers, being told they were going to take a shower and would turned on the Zyklon-B gas which was a cyanide-baded insecticide and was very potent
On Hitler's birthday, in at least one concentration camp - Auschwitz ,or Bergen-Belsen the guards shot a Jew every hour.Every person there was either sick, starving, dying, or a slave laborer
The total number of people killed would be between 11 million and 17 million people from all over Europe.

Summary
The Holocaust was one of the most devastating anti-Semitism acts ever committed. Killing so many people without being noticed is quite the job and Hitler sadly pulled it off for basically the entire war starting with just the star of david and ending in concentration camps.
