millions of jews was killed
The estimate is that about 6 million Jews were killed during the final solution. The rest of the 11 million were others the Nazis deemed undesirable.
The plan to kill all Jews was called the Final Solution, in which means that the mass murdering of Jews, in 1942 after the Final solution was decided, 3 million jews were murdered in a single year, 8,000+ dying daily.
Hitler was the one who ordered the final solution, being that all Jews be killed.
1942, after the Wansee Conference in Berlin decided on the Final Solution and kill all the Jews in occupied Europe, and the rest of the world if they could get them as well.
The "Final Solution", or mass killing of Jews, did not end until Germany was invaded by the Allied forces. That was about when Hitler killed himself.
Ghetto and public assaults
The Jews were used as Hitler's scapegoat for the financial problems Germany was facing after WWI. Eventually as his ideas became more radical, he decided that the"Final Solution" was to rid Europe of all Jew's ergo eliminating the "problem" at the source.
6 million jews were killed in the holocaust
The Final Soution was decided at the Wansee Conference, this idea of the Final Solution started the mass killings in the Concentration Camps.

They wanted to send all the Jews to Madagascar, but that proved to be a logistical nightmare.
