Answer:
the Germany is memorial
Answer:
The Holocaust happened during the Second World War between 1941 and 1945.
It refers to when the German Nazi party - led by Adolf Hitler - murdered six million Jewish people from countries across Europe in an attempt to wipe out the Jewish population.
The Jewish people had done nothing wrong. They were targeted simply because they were Jewish.
The Nazis also killed millions of other people just because of who they were. For example, Roma gypsies, disabled people and gay people were also targeted.

How Jewish people were treated during the Holocaust
The Nazis rounded these people up and put them in prisons called concentration camps and killed them, because they believed they were inferior human beings and wanted to get rid of them.
Nearly 7 out of every 10 Jews living in Europe at the time were killed.
Deliberately killing a large group of people like this is called "genocide".
