Holocaust

The Holocaust was the mass genocide of six million Jewish men, women, and children, along with millions of others, by Nazi Germany and its allies during World War II. This systematic extermination, often referred to by the Nazis as "the final solution," involved forced labor, starvation, shootings, and gas chambers in concentration camps such as Auschwitz-Birkenau and Treblinka. Other targeted groups included Romani people, Soviet prisoners of war, and political opponents. The term "Holocaust" comes from a Greek word meaning "sacrifice by fire," while in Hebrew, it is known as the Shoah, meaning "catastrophe." Today, museums, memorials, and education efforts work to preserve the memory of these events and prevent history from repeating itself. Would you like me to adjust this further?
