The Holocaust is a unique genocide
Shoah. The Holocaust is a unique genocide, total and systematic, committed by Nazi Germany and its helpers with the goal of completely destroying the Jewish people. The main initiator of the Holocaust was the Nazi ideology of racist anti-Semitism. Between 1933. and 1941. Nazi Germany implemented measures to deprive Jews of their rights and confiscate their property, followed by the marking and grouping of the Jewish population. This policy gained widespread support in Germany and much of occupied Europe. After the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, the Nazis, with the help of collaborators, began the systematic extermination of Jews. Until 1945. almost six million Jews will be killed.
