In your own words, explain what is meant by “The0Holocaust”. This should be a fully developed paragraph of 3-5 sentences. (be sure to use the term “concentration camps”)
The Holocaust refers to the systematic genocide of approximately six million Jews by the Nazis during World War II. It involved the extermination of millions of innocent lives through various means, including mass shootings, gas chambers, forced labor, and other atrocities. The Nazis established concentration camps as part of their systematic plan to isolate, dehumanize, and exterminate Jews and other targeted groups, such as Romani people, disabled individuals, and political dissidents. These camps served as sites of immense suffering, where prisoners endured starvation, torture, and inhumane conditions, resulting in the deaths of millions. The Holocaust remains a stark reminder of the depths of human cruelty and the consequences of unchecked hatred and prejudice.
