Being Objective does not mean being amoral. Rather, it refers to a dispassionate assessment of the facts of something, and then judging the action according to a moral framework based solely on those factual assessments, leaving emotion and (cultural) bias out of the judgement.
By those means, I see no rational basis for claiming that the Holocaust served any valid moral purpose or necessity, based on the basic moral code that Western civilization has used for the past 2,000 years. So, yes, the Holocaust was most certainly objectively wrong.
The fact that the Nazis were able to justify it as right (and necessary) to their own people shows exactly how twisted and far removed their moral code was from that of the baseline Western morality.
morally they were wrong, but they were done in accordance with the law.
____
I don't think so ... There was no law or decree that ordered, or even provided for, the Holocaust.
-----
The Holocaust was a series of actions, starting with the restriction and segregation of Jews, though after the war these were deemed illegal, at the time there was no law against tham. The most dubious action was the Kommisar order, as it was illegal to execute combatants, but this was attempted to be justified by the fact that they would have been a danger in the camps.
The point is that during the Holocaust everyone who perpetrated the crimes (excluding the cases of extreme brutality, for which the Nazis did punish them), everyone from the local native police to the train drivers and the camp guards thought that they were following legal orders, which indeed they were.
When one speaks of something as being "right" or "wrong", a moral judgement is being implied. When discussing whether an action contravenes a law, the terms "illegal" and "legal" are used.
In this context, there is no possible moral justification for the Holocaust, assuming we are using the baseline morality that Western (and, even Eastern) civilizations have used for at least 2,000 years prior.
So, yes, the actions of those involved in the Holocaust are most certainly morally wrong. Even those who had no direct knowledge of what the fate of the victims would be should be judged as morally wrong, given that the actions of rounding up people for deportation for no reason other than membership in a specific ethnic group is morally reprehensible. Remember, it is entirely possible for something to be immoral and legal at the same time.
The Holocaust suggested that earlier ideas about progress were not true. The Holocaust makes one consider that postmodernism is wrong as much to do with the Holocaust is with the absence of empirical data.
No. It is perfectly alright to give a Jewish girl a book about the Holocaust, provided it is an accurate book about the Holocaust (as opposed to a Holocaust Denial book). However, bear in mind that the Holocaust is a depressing topic and so it might be less than optimal to give a Holocaust book as a present on a special occasion.

how can a person look objectively
No, the Holocaust was about extermination, not punishment. The word punishment suggests that the victims were wrong-doers and were guilty of a crime.
The answer depends on what you think. In France, July 14 is celebrated proudly, but looking at it objectively it may not have been the best thing to do.

No, what he did during the Holocause was very, very wrong.
the holocaust was a human mistake for many reasons. Adolf Hitler could not have planned almost 10 years of suffering. I still tink it was wrong but still i honestly do not support the idea that the holocaust was planned.
It is important because of the many lives lost. It is also an example of why prejudice is wrong.
