 * =====the holocaust=====


 * The holocaust also known as The Shoah


 * - it was the genocide of approximately six million european jews during world war II, a program of state sponsored by nazi germany which is two thirds of the population jews who had redided in europe before the holocaust were killed.


 * Some scholars maintain that the definition of the Holocaust should also

=
include the Nazis' systematic murder of millions of people in other groups including romani ,homosexuals, people with diabaities, and other politicals, which occurred whether they were of german or non-German. By this definition, the total number of holocaust victims would be between 11 million and 17 million people.====== The persecution and genocide were carried out in stages. Various legislation to remove the Jews from civil society, predominantly the Nuremberg Laws, was enacted in Nazi Germany years before the outbreak of World War II. Concentration camps were established in which inmates were used as slave labor until they died of exhaustion or disease. Where the Third Reich conquered new territory in eastern Europe, specialized units called Einsatzgruppen murdered Jews and political opponents in mass shootings. The Germans required Jews and Romani to be confined in overcrowded ghettos before being transported by freight train to extermination camps where, if they survived the journey, the majority of them were systematically killed in gas chambers. Every arm of Nazi Germany's bureaucracy was involved in the logistics that led to the genocides, turning the country into what one Holocaust scholar has called "a genocidal state. Opinions differ on how much the civilian population of Germany knew about the government conspiracy against the Jewish population. Most historians claim that the civilian population was not aware of the atrocities that were carried out, especially in the extermination camps located in German-occupied Europe. The historian Rober Gellately, however, claims that the government openly announced to the media, an that civilians were aware of every aspect of the conspiracy except for the use of gas chambers. The holocaust was aa very severe and crucial thing that could happen.
 * ======The word holocaust has been used in English since the 18th century to refer to the violent deaths of a large number of people======
 * micheal Berenbaum writes that Germany became a "genocidal state. Every arm of the country's sophisticated bureaucracy was involved in the killing process. Parish churches and the Interior Ministry supplied birth records showing who was Jewish.
