what do you mean by Nazi holocaust? how did the world come to know about it?
Answers
The Holocaust was the mass murder of six million Jews and millions of other people by the Nazis before and during the world war II. The killings took place in Europe between 1933 to 1945. The killings were organised by the German Nazi Party which was led by Adolf Hitler. The largest group of victims were the Jewish people. Nearly, 7 out of every 10 living in Europe were killed. Most of the victims were killed because they belonged to certain racial or religious groups which the Nazis wanted to wipe out. The Nazis also murdered politicians, trade unionists, journalists, teachers and anyone else who spoke out against Hitler.
The world came to know about the Holocaust only after the world war II ended and Germany was defeated. Some of the survivors wanted to live out the war just for half an hour only to tell the world about what had happened in Nazi Germany. They wrote diaries, kept notebooks and created archives.
