'''The Holocaust''', also known as '''the Shoah''' and the '''Final Solution to the Jewish Question''' (or simply the '''Final Solution''') was a government-orchestrated mass [[genocide]] that affected approximately eleven million people including six million Jews during the final years of [[World War II]]. The Holocaust was orchestrated by the [[Nazi Party|Nazi German]] dictator, [[Adolf Hitler]], and it advocated the idea of doing away with several fragments of society. This included other groups such as: Black people (including African immigrants), LGBT people (including gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender); Slavs (including Russians, Ukrainians, Serbians, Poles, Czechs, and Slovaks), Romani, Greeks; various Christian denominations (primarily Jehovah’s Witnesses and Catholics); Brown people (including Mulattoes and Mamelukes); communists, socialists, capitalists, anarchists, feminists, and other dissidents and Allied POWs, especially Soviet POWs.

{{Quote|The Holocaust is very much alive. The wounds are still there. The scars are still there. The influence is still there.|Avner Shalev}}After all the concentration camps were liberated by the Americans, British/Canadians, and the Soviets; most of highest members of the Nazi party and the SS were standing on trial in the Nuremberg trials. Many that were involved in the Holocaust were sentenced to death for [[war crimes]] and [[crimes against humanity]], only a few were sentenced to prison, for example [[August Becker]], [[Albert Speer]] and [[Rudolf Hess]] (who committed suicide in Spandau Prison in 1987 at age 93.)

Other Nazis that were involved in the genocide, such as [[Hermann Göring]] and [[Heinrich Himmler]], committed suicide before they even got to trial; others such as [[Amon Göth]] were captured and put into Soviet labor camps or were executed. Still others, such as [[Adolf Eichmann]], [[Franz Stangl]], and [[Klaus Barbie]], remained on the lam for decades before being captured.

{{Quote|For the dead and the living, we must bear witness.|Elie Wiesel}}The Holocaust is believed to be the most horrific example of humanity at its worst. The Holocaust was also the most significant genocide to have ever occurred in the 20th century, leading to the deaths of approximately 11 million people, including children. Many people were killed in absolutely deplorable ways, including various forms of sadistic [[torture]]. Many victims of the Nazi Party's campaign of carnage would either be burned to death in the various ovens scattered throughout the camp, or some would even be forced to dig their own graves, and then be shot into said graves after they were finished digging. Many Jews were starved beyond recognition, and some of the Jewish people would be so weakened from malnutrition, that they would often fall into ditches whenever they escaped their captivity from the hands of Hitler and the Nazis. Many Jewish people were also [[Nazi Medical Experimentation|used as human guinea pigs in various experiments]]. For example, many Nazi doctors, such as [[Josef Mengele]] (who was perhaps the most infamous of the Nazi doctors) attempted to change their eye and hair colors to match what they considered to be the superior race, and these experiments would often lead to failure. Many people of Jewish descent were killed from these failed experiments. Because of this fact, many Nazi doctors were found guilty for crimes against humanity, and were executed.

Many people, including former Iranian president [[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]] and American white supremacist [[David Duke]], among others, try to claim that these mass murders [[Holocaust denial|never happened]], and that the government most likely made them up in order to acquire sympathy from their listeners; this is, in fact, a very common belief in the [[Anti-Semitism|anti-Semite]], [[white supremacy|white supremacist]], and [[Alt-Right]] communities of the modern era. This is mostly because they believe Hitler was a good leader and will not admit that the Holocaust occurred because it would paint him in a negative light.
