Best Answer

Most of the killing took place in Poland and Eastern Europe.

The various articles in Wikipedia on the individual extermination camps are roughly as follows:

  • Auschwitz-Birkenau: 1.1 million (minimum, of whom about 960,000 were Jews)
  • Belzec: 435,000 Jews plus an unknown number of Roma
  • Chelmno: 152,000-153,000 (mostly Jews)
  • Bronnaya Gora 50,000 (Jews)
  • Majdanek: 78,000 (59,000 Jews)
  • Maly Trostinets: 60,000 (?)
  • Sobibor: 250,000
  • Treblinka: 870,000 (?)

In addition, over 800,000 died from "ghettoization and general privation" and 1,400,000 were killed in open-air shootings. In many parts of the Soviet Union Jews were simply killed on the spot. There were also 'killing fields' in Latvia.
The place where more Jews died than any other is the gas chamber in krematoria II in Birkenau (Auschwitz II)

This of course depends uopn your definition of the Holocaust, if you believe that it stopped with the surrender of Nazi Germany and that anyone who died the next day did not die because of the Holocaust, then you would say that it does not occur anymore, but if you believe that it is still occuring until the last survivor dies, then it is occuring where they are.
