The Holocaust of World War II was a systematic, state-sponsored genocide perpetrated by Nazi Germany, resulting in the deaths of six million Jews and millions of others, including Romani people, disabled individuals, Polish and Soviet civilians, political dissidents, and other marginalized groups.
This atrocity, executed through ghettos, concentration camps, and extermination camps, was driven by Adolf Hitler's racist ideology and desire for ethnic purity.
The Holocaust remains one of the most harrowing and devastating events in human history, symbolizing the depths of human cruelty and the catastrophic consequences of unchecked hatred and bigotry.
