'''The Holocaust''', also known as '''the Shoah''' and the '''Final Solution to the Jewish Question''', was a government-orchestrated mass [[genocide]] that affected approximately six million Jews or more during the final years of [[World War II]]. The Holocaust was orchestrated by the Nazi Germany dictator, [[Adolf Hitler]], and it advocated the idea of doing away with several fragments of society. This included other groups such as: Black people (incluiding 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); Muslims; Brown people (incluiding Mulattoes and Mamelukes); communists, socialists, capitalists, anarchists, feminists, and other dissidents and Allied POWs, especially Soviet POWs.

Though the Nazis were the primary perpetrators of the Holocaust, other groups that comprised the [[Axis Powers]] participated as well, most notably Hitler's two main allies, [[Imperial Japan]] and Fascist Italy under [[Benito Mussolini]].
