The Holocaust was the persecution and murder of millions of Jews by the Nazis. They did this because the Nazis believed the Aryans was superior to every other race, including Jews. They saw the Jews as polluting their race. Germany ordered the Jews to leave the country, but they had no where to go. This led Germany to organize "the Final Solution", or in other words, concentration and extermination camps.

__Concentration Camps__
Millions of Jews and other members of Germany's enemies (including gypsies, disabled, and homosexuals) died in concentration camps due to malnutrition, starvation, disease, and over work, or being shot because they could no longer work. Prisoners were put through complete torture and mistreatment. Women had to shave their heads, everyone was given a number to replace their name, and they were stripped of all self-respect and dignity. Around 3 million Jews were killed in gas chambers or in mass shootings. Some died before even making it to the camp. They were transported in freight cars in which people died of dehydration or from freezing.
