I would say about 60,000 if not more Jews were killed in the Soviet Union during the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler despised the Jews B/C they refused to believe like he did. It was all about religion. The Jews wanted to keep their religion and did not want to change it. On the other hand, Hitler wanted them to convert to his religion. B/C they refused it caused their death. I won't argue with the numbers because I don't know, but you are wrong about the reason. It wasn't the Jewish religion Hitler objected to. It was the Jewish race. Anyone with one Jewish grandparent was subject to all the discriminatory laws no matter what church they belonged to or what god they believed in. - The Holocaust had nothing to do with religion. - Most souces give a much higher figure than that in the first answer - usually about 1.5 million Soviet Jews killed by the Nazis in WWII (out of a total of about 2.6 million). Over 33,000 Jews were killed in the Babi Yar massacre just outside Kiev, and there were many other such massacres.

Why did the Holocaust use camps?

The Holocaust had Concentration Camps or Forced labor camps to destroy the Jews. They would force them to go to these camps and give them little food and force them to work until they died, or they just killed them out right. ___ In the then Soviet Union the Nazis often simply shot Jews in open country, but in Western and Central Europe they weren't keen on this. ___ There were different kinds of camps for different purposes.
