'''The Holocaust''', also known as '''the Shoah''', 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. This included the [[Ustaše]] in Yugoslavia, the [[Arrow Cross Party]] in Hungary, and other similar ~~parties~~.

Everyone of these people was seen as "sub-humans", people that was not fit for the [[Nazi Party]]'s ideology of what they referred to as the Aryans, that was seen as the "master race" of Germany. Also that the Jews was seen as "responsible" by the Nazis that Germany lost [[World War I]] and causing the country's economy to collapse, the so-called "Stab-in-the-back myth".

This event set in motion mass deportations of Jews to [[Concentration Camp|concentration camps]] over the next several years while the Nazis went from country to country, pillaging and conquering. Later on in 1941, a paramilitary [[death squad]], dubbed the ''[[Einsatzgruppen]]'', was established, and their job was to execute civilian stragglers in conquered Nazi territories.

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 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 shoot 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.
