Best Answer

The Holocaust was the main one, this was the murder of about Six million people (Jews).

There were two other actions which are often grouped in with the Holocaust, but deserve their own recognition: The Murder of the Gypsies, they suffered most of the same persecution as the Jews, with some noteable differences. But thought they suffered in the same industrial complex, it was for different reasons. Also the actions in Yugoslavia, they are generally included with the Holocaust, but they were not led by the Germans and included other groups.
