== == The Holocaust in recent history refers to the attempt by the Nazis to exterminate the Jews in 1941-45 (unless otherwise specified). Sometimes the simultaneous Nazi attempt to exterminate all gypsies and homosexuals is included. The estimated number killed is six million Jews. There has been at least one more recent attempt at genocide - that of the Tutsis by the Hutus in Rwanda in 1994. The number of people murdered in Rwanda is estimated at between 800,000 and just over 1 million. Note also the genocide of the Armenians by the Ottoman Turks in 1915-17 and 1918-1922. The number of Armenians murdered is estimated at 1.2 million.
