The Holocaust is a term used to refer to the genocide that the Nazi regime in Germany began. The intention was to purge German society of those races and people that were considered sub-standard and a drain on society. The poor, Jewish, Gypsies, Homosexuals and other groups considered sub-standard to the Aryan race were sent to concentration camps to 'clean up' the rest of Germany and the occupied countries.

Why did the Holocaust happen in Germany?
It is an oft asked question, there was not (as some tried to suggest) a specifically German thing about the Holocaust. Germany, under the Nazis provided the breeding ground for many of the factors leading to the Holocaust, but it was only when the war came and the pressures of the eastern front that persecution turned to genocide. There were many genocides carried out in Europe at the time of the Holocaust, the one in Yugoslavia, more brutal that the Holocaust may have happened under the protection of Germany, but was not instgated by Germany. Many facets of the Holocaust were due to the problems created by underlying resentment from especially the last twenty years, but in some cases beyond. __________________________ Another view is that it was all because Hitler said so.
