What was the Holocaust and Where was it located?

Answer 1

The Holocaust occurred during World War II in Germany. The German leader, Adolf Hitler, attempted to exterminate the Jewish people by confining them to concentration camps and then killing them systematically using gas chambers, working them to death with no food or medical care and mass murder and burial in mass graves. Genocide was practiced on a scale never before seen. Not only Jews were subjected to this "cleansing" of the world, but other "inferior races" as proclaimed by the Nazi regime. Homosexuals, blacks and any races other than the pure Aryan race were seen as being the cause of the world's problems by the Nazi's during this time. Although there were numerous other factors that helped to cause the Holocaust, these are the major reasons.
