The fact that millions of people suffered and died.
They legalized anti-Semitism, paving the way to the Holocaust.
The Holocaust did not take place during WW 1, it was during WW 2.

I don't think the Holocaust had any religious significance. It would be very odd to suggest, for example, that the victims atoned for the sins of the world, or anything like that.
It puts the events in a chronological order, which some people use as a method to try to understand what happened.
Firstly its location. Its history. Its significance to the perpetration of the Holocaust. Its significance to current understanding of the Holocaust. How it has been abused by those who would deny the Holocaust. How it has been abused by the tourist industry. How it has been forced to change by contemporary politics. Why it was used as a term to encapsulate the entire Holocaust. Who pays for it to be maintained. As it stands; who is it for? These are in my opinion the ten most important things, obviously there are a multitude of bits of information and figures all included within its history and picking the ten most important out of those will be highly subjective.
significance really depends on your point of view, but to most it would surely be the loss of people's families.
A-7713 was the identification number tattooed on Elie Wiesel's arm when he arrived at Auschwitz concentration camp. This number became a symbol of the dehumanization and loss of identity experienced by prisoners in the Holocaust. It represents the brutality and inhumanity of the Nazis and the struggle for survival and remembrance of those who were subjected to the horrors of the Holocaust.
The Holocaust
The Holocaust was a horrible time in the history of Europe. Many Jews and other minorities were sent to camps where they were forced to work very hard for veryl little food, and most died of exhaustion, starvation or by either being shot or gassed. Many Jewish people do not like to talk about this terrible time in their history. _______ Some consciously avoid the word Holocaustand use the word Shoah instead. The reason is that holocaust is derived from a Greek word meaning burnt sacrifice, and very few people believe that the Nazi genocide of the Jews has any religious significance. The word shoah, which means great calamity, catastrophe in Hebrew avoids the kinds of misunderstandings that the word holocaust may give rise to. (Any suggestion that the Jews in the Holocaust were the 'lamb [taking] away the sins of the world' is at best bewildering and at worst is seen as blasphemous. Very, very few people have suggested or implied that the Holocaust had any such significance).
He approved of the Holocaust and was the one who made the Holocaust happen.
Lots of Jews had fled to Palestine before the holocaust, as there were very few another countries that would accept refugees, even under the obvious threat of genoicde.
