A program referring to the extermination of all "impure" people, mainly concerning of Jewish origin by Nazi Germany in the years 1939-1945

Even though the holocaust also involved nearly 5 million people of non-Jewish ancestry, the mass extermination of the Jews decimated the entire Jewish population of the world by two thirds, and nearly eliminated almost all Jews residing in Europe.

Let's not forget, if the amount of Jews was proportional to the quantity of Americans for example, then the casualties would likely be circa 200 million.
Israel was created as a direct effect of this incident, because the Jewish people simply had nowhere else to go!

Get the holocaust mug.
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!
F*** THOSE ANTI-SEMITIC B****Y JERKS WHO THINK THE HOLOCAUST WAS GOOD!!!

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
During the Holocaust Hitler and his fellow Nazis killed millions of Jewish people.

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.
1. The Nazis forced children and elderly people into shower rooms filled with poison gas during the Holocaust.
2. People thought that North Korea was going to start a nuclear holocaust.
