The Holocaust was a horrific period during World War II when approximately six million Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazi regime led by Adolf Hitler. This genocide also targeted other groups, including Romani people, disabled individuals, and various political dissidents, reflecting a broader agenda of racial purity and totalitarian control. The atrocities of the Holocaust took place primarily in concentration camps, such as Auschwitz and Treblinka, where victims faced inhumane conditions, forced labor, and mass executions. The Holocaust remains a crucial reminder of the dangers of hatred, intolerance, and discrimination, emphasizing the importance of education and remembrance to prevent such events from occurring again.
