∙ 16y agoNo, the Holocaust is not the same thing as the third Reich. The Third Reich is the term used by the Nazis to denote their own ruleof Germany. That is to say, they considered Nazi Germany to be a new kind of Germany, under a whole new "system". If you are couting, the first Reich was the Holy Roman Empire established in the 9th century AD and the second Reich was the united Germany under Kaiser Wilhelm I in 1871. Hitler's Third Reich was another change in theform of government that revolutionized the way Germany functioned as a nation. The Holocaust is one action taken by the third Reich. Essentially, your question is like "Is the War of 1812 the same thing as the Madison Administration?" The Holocaust was something that happened during the Third Reich.
