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: homosexuals, Gypsies, communists, and the mentally and psychically disabled. Everyone of these people was seen as "sub-humans", people that was not fit for the Nazi ideology of "pure aryans", that was seen as the "master race" of Germany. Also that the Jews was seen as "responsible" by the Nazis that Germany lost WWI and causing the country to fall into inflation.

Later on in 1941, a paramilitary death squad, dubbed the ''Einsatzgruppen'', was established, and their job was to kill people of Jewish descent and political rivals.
