The Holocaust ended when the various camps were liberated by the Allies, mainly in 1945. By 9 May 1945 it was over, though liberated prisoners were still dying of disease and malnutrition.

In areas under Nazi control the Holocaust continued right up to the end of the war in Europe. Obviously, in mid and late 1944 some areas had been liberated, and there the Holocaust was over. For example, in July 1944 the Soviet Army liberated the first really big camp - Majdanek (in the suburbs of Lublin, Poland).

At the time of liberation, many prisoners were desperately ill and many died of disease soon after their camps were liberated, despite all efforts to save them.
