The Holocaust
It's difficult to overstate the brutality and tragedy of the Holocaust. The Holocaust, which comes from the Greek meaning "sacrifice by fire," was the systemic, deliberate, state-sponsored killing of approximately 14 million people. Almost half of the victims were six million European Jews. The remaining half included Roma, people with mental and physical disabilities, prisoners of war, political and religious dissenters, and members of the LGBTQ community. Nazi Germany aimed to capture and imprison anyone who was a threat. People who spoke out against the Nazis, ethnic groups like the Roma, and religious minorities like the Jews did not have a place in Nazi society. As a result, they were transported to concentration camps to work, suffer, and die. The Jews were a target merely due to their heritage and beliefs, which made the Holocaust a genocide, the deliberate killing of a large group of people due to their ethnicity or religious beliefs. Adolf Hitler used Jews as a scapegoat for all the failings of the Treaty of Versailles and the Weimar Republic.
