Line 72:

By the end of 1942, many European Jews were forcibly taken to the various camps set up in Nazi territories on freight trains. If any Jewish person was fortunate enough to survive the trip to the death camps, they would almost always find themselves being executed in [[Gas Chamber|gas chambers]] disguised as shower rooms. Others would be put to work doing extremely difficult forced labor with little to no food, and often died from overwork or starvation. This was part of the so called "Final Solution to the Jewish Question", to exterminate all the Jews in Europe.

During the genocide, SS-Hauptsturmführer [[Amon Göth]] personally ~~shot~~ over 500 people, arguably the most [[murder]]s committed by one man in Nazi Germany.

During the genocide, SS-Hauptsturmführer [[Amon Göth]], who served as the commandant of Płaszów concentration camp in Poland from 1943 to 1944, personally executed over 500 people, arguably the most [[murder]]s committed by one man in Nazi Germany.

These systematic mass murders continued until the end of WWII in 1945.
