Best Answer

The start date of the Holocaust is not agreed upon. Many date it from the start of the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. It certainly did not start in 1933. But if you were to date it from when the decision to murder all of the Jews in occupied Europe, then it could have started as late as 1942.

The end date is a bit clearer, if you were to put it at the date of Germany's surrender, then a starving inmate who died the day after would not be a victim of the Holocaust. Clearly the Holocaust lives on within any Survivor, what we can say is that the persecution was stopped upon liberation/surrender.

__________

Systematic mass killings began in late June 1941. The decision to kill all the Jews in Europe was taken before the start of 1942.

_____________

Because of the nature of the evolution of the mass murder; the murdering of the people within the ghettos was not part of the decision to kill all of the Jews in occupied Europe (ie. the Final Solution), it was only later that we see the movement to wholesale genocide, this is why the decision could have been made after the start of 1942.
