HolocaustThe Holocaust was the organized murder of six million Jews by Nazi Germany and other Axis Powers during World War II. Methods included identification of Jewish people, confiscation of property, internment in concentration camps, and mass-murder using gas chambers, starvation, shootings, ovens, and other techniques. The Holocaust is significant because it shows that genocide is possible even in modern industrialized societies. Germany at the time was an economic, scientific, and cultural world leader.
