Holocaust

The Holocaust was the systematic extermination of jewish people in areas controlled by Nazi Germany. Other victims of the mass killings include homosexuals and gypsies. Nazi Germany passed a series of laws aimed at the discrimination of jewish people. First, the Nazis forced jews into work camps, where they would die of exhaustion or disease, or to ghettos. Soon afterwards, laws were passed that began the genocide. Victims were shuttled from ghettos on freight trains to concentration camps. Around 6 million jews were killed and around 5 million other groups were victims of the Holocaust.
