Christians did the killing, they were not the victims.
Various clergy were arrested by the Nazis, after a changeable relationship.
There was a concorde between the Papacy and the Nazis, but this concerned Germany, not Poland where clerics were arrested.
The Protestant Church actually had some clergy who opposed Hitler, but this was all very late, after the war had started. Martin Niemoeller was perhaps the most famous.
My favourite Christian from the Holocaust was Saint Maximilian Kolbe who took the place of someone who was due to die in a 'starvation' cell.
Christians weren't killed in the Holocast. Jewish people were. Christians believe in God, just like Jews, but the difference is, is that Christians believe that God sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins, so that we may have everlasting life in heaven with God. (John 3:16) Jews believe that Jesus is real, but he wasn't really God's son. The Jews spit on Jesus and abused him as the others did on the cross. They said "May his blood be on our children's" (I wish I could remember the exact verse.) Some people believe that the Holocast, the killing and torturing of Jews, was God's punishment to the Jews. There is no evidence.

The Nazis did not kill anyone for simply being a Christian. Obviously, many of those killed by the Nazis happened to be Christians, but that was not the reason why they were killed. The motives for Nazi killings were racial, ideological and political - not religious.
There were approximately 11 million souls murdered during the Holocaust, of which, I believe, six million were Jews. Of the remainder, almost all of them were Christian, with the vast majority being Catholics, Also included in that were homosexuals, gypsies, and Jehovah's Witnesses. Hitler found Catholics and the Catholic Church particularly disgusting.
____________________________________________
Though the number of Hitler's victims number 11 million and more, the Holocaust has a specific meaning.
Although Hitler was a Roman Catholic himself, and despite making an agreement with the Vatican, which he promptly disregarded. No one was killed because of being a Christian, though many Christians were killed.
But what has to be understood is that the people doing the murdering were Christian, whether active/practicing or not.
____________________________________________________
In relation to the Holocaust, there is a tendency to use the word Christian in a very loose, happy-go-lucky sense as if it included practically all non-Jews slaughtered. It is unclear where the figure of 11 million comes from, but it sometimes includes 3 million Soviet citizens. I wonder how many of those saw themselves as Christian in either the nominal sense of having been baptized or the sense of being actively practising.

The mass killings took place between 1941 and 1945.
If you mean the WWII holocaust, mainly Nazi Germany. There were other mass killings around that time: Japan in China, and Stalin in the Soviet Union.
In Poland there were a significant number of killings after the Holocaust because some Polish nationalists believed that the Jews were Communists.
'Cause he wanted to takeover whole Europe.
Most people would agree that the systematic killings of 7 million innocent people was pretty distasteful.
