There were many concentration camps. Examples are Auschwitz, Dachau, and Bergen-Belsen. I don't know if this will help with the answer but films were taken from liberating armies of concentration camps in 1945 which of course shocked the world. The Holocaust ended with the surrender of Nazi Germany in May 1945. Obviously, in areas that had been taken by the Allies earlier, the Holocaust ended when the area and its camps were liberated. At most liberated camps some former prisoners continued to die of disease and malnutrition for some months afte liberation despite the Allies' best efforts.

The holocaust ended because the allies started to close in on Germany.While destroying the last of the German army the allies( Britain,U.S.,France,Russia) found the concentration camps all over Germany,Poland,Austria,the Czech Republic and many other countries and were baffled because not only had they never seen such atrosities

but they didnt know the purpose of them until they found German records and documents about the camps.But if the Germans had won the war not only would they have continued killing people,but we would of never of found out about it.

It started because there were too many people in a small space, with not enough fod to feed them. It ended because the powers that perpetrated the Holocaust were no longer in a position to continue.

There was no 'war against the Holocaust'. The Allies fought Nazi Germany and won, but the end of the Holocaust was a by-product of the Allied victory.

The persecution was ended with the change of government in Germany. Following the Nazis' military defeat they were no longer able to persecute the Jews, this happened in May of 1945.
