In the 1950s and early 1960s the Wannsee Conference (20 January 1942) was often thought of as the start of the Holocaust. However, the routine mass slaughter of the Jews had already started ... There are two possible dates: 1. 25 June 1941 - SD-Einstatzgruppen (mobile killing units) went into action in Kaunas, Lithuania, systemtically killing Jews. 2. 8 December 1941 - routine mass gassings started at Chelmno.

What event marks the start of Gregorian calendar?

The calendar is intended to mark the number of years since the death of King Herod the Great. The Roman abbot Dionysus Exiguus devised the new Christian calendar in 533. He knew that it was impossible to say when Jesus was born, but he knew, or thought he knew, when Herod died. So, he chose to begin his Christian calendar on the year of Herod's death, and he based this on the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus. Unaware that Augustus only adopted that name four years after his reign began, going by his birth name of Octavius until then, Exiguus commenced his calendar just 4 years too late.
