Question

Where did the holocaust take place?

Answer 1

The Holocaust began in Germany in the 1930s and later expanded to all areas of Nazi-occupied Europe during World War Two.

The majority of killings occurred after the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union two years into the war, with approximately 6 million European Jews murdered between 1941 and 1945. But the Nazis’ persecution of Jews and other minorities began long before that.

Such persecution was initially confined to Germany. After Hitler was sworn in as the country’s chancellor in January 1933, he immediately set about implementing policies that targeted Jews and other minority groups
