The Holacaust was the attempt of Nazi Germany during WWII to kill every single Jew, homosexual, Roma, disabled, Russian POW's, and many many other minorities. 6 million Jews were killed and 5 million Roma, gay, disabled, and other peopel who Hitler claimed were "inferior"were killed. 11 million in total. I am of a Jewish family. All my grandparents were in the Holacaust. Just my grandma alone- she came from a family of almost 100 people. Of those original 100- my grandma and 3 others survived. And for those of you who deny the holacaust- where did 96 people just from my grandma's family alone go? Where they shipped off the planet? Whatever happened to them?
And for those who say that Germans should be ashamed that they are Germans because of Hitler is strictly unfair. Not every German soldier actually believed in Nazi ideas. Many of them did, yes, and supported the "Final Solution". All soldiers had to fight, and I honestly dont believe every German supported the horrible acts of their government.
It is also a personal theory of mine that neo-Nazis deny the holacaust because they recognize what a terrible thing the holacaust was, and they dont want to believe that the people they admire and believe in could do such a thing. Once again, I am from a Jewish family, and my grandparents went through the holacaust- and so this is probably the most fair definition you will ever get.

For all yoiu people out there who say that the Holocaust didn't happen, you're so blind. It did happen and the world has to remember so that it never happens again to any group of people. In the Holocaust, Jews, gypsies, and thousands of others were killed by Hitler and his Nazis. All we can do now to ensure the world's safety is to remember, and denying the past will help no one. All you have to do is remember.

Today me and my other fellow 8 th graders closed our books to the holocaust and this is my definition I came up with.
A word that can never be forgotten. An act of war against mainly Jewish, homosexuals, romas (gypsies) and ones with special needs. Millions were shipped to ghettos such a Warsaw and lodz but were later sent to concentration camps and killing centers such a aushwitz and treblinka. Not many survived the Holocaust as many were shot to death and thrown into piles which moved for days and other were gased with Zyclon B in large "showers" or we're sent on death marches and died. All had harsh endings. I can't tell you all of it even though I want to. Only about a couple thousand survived my heros

1. An event taking place in Europe from 1939 to 1945. In the Holocaust, the Nazis exterminated approximately 11 million people, the majority of these people being Jewish. Other religions and ethnic groups who were killed in the Holocaust include Roman Catholics, Romas, Jahova Witnesses, Homosexuals, and menatly and physicaly disabled people. Many people deny that the Holocaust ever occured, despite undeniable evidence of the slaughter of over 11 million people.

2. A disaster on a major scale.

The Holocaust was a time where Adolf Hitler decided, "Hey, I am an anti-semitic jerk, so why not f***ing kill the Jew bastards?" He then started having the Nazi Party shooting Jews IN THEIR HOMES and on the streets. While that was going on, Hitler had the Jews and anyone else he didn't like put into concentration camps like Auschwitz. There they threw them into gas chambers where they were gassed with Zyklon B. Everyone would drop dead after about 3 hrs. During these 3 hrs, the innocent people inside would be screaming in horrible agony while trying to scratch their way out. SCRATCH. THAT'S how desperate they were to escape. The Nazi Party also worked and starved the prisoners to death.
To all the b****es who think the Holocaust didn't happen, IT DID. HOW DO YOU F***ING EXPLAIN THE CAMPS TO VISIT, MUSEUMS, SURVIVOR'S STORIES, PICTURES, AND EVERYTHING ELSE?! SERIOUSLY, I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW!
To all those f***ing b****es who agree with the Holocaust, F*** YOU! MOST PEOPLE TELL ME TO RESPECT PEOPLE'S BELIEFS EVEN IF IT IS AGAINST MY OWN RELIGION, BUT I WILL NOT. I WILL STAND UP FOR MY RELIGION AND SAY, HOW DARE YOU CALL US BASTARDS! HOW DARE YOU THINK WE DESTROY AND CORRUPT! THAT IT IS IN OUR GENETICS! GUESS WHAT B****ES?! I AM SPEAKING FOR NOT ONLY MYSELF, BUT MY WHOLE FAMILY, MY JEWISH FRIENDS, THE PEOPLE WHO DIED IN THE HOLOCAUST, AND EVERY OTHER JEW ON EARTH! I AM NOT AFRAID TO SPEAK FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IN JUST LIKE YOU AREN'T B****ES!
