16. In your own words, explain what is meant by “The0Holocaust”. This should be a fully developed paragraph of 3 sentences. (be sure to use the term “concentration camps”)
The Holocaust refers to the systematic persecution and genocide of approximately six million Jews, along with millions of other minority groups, by the Nazi regime during World War II. It was a state-sponsored enterprise designed to eradicate any individual deemed racially, ethnically, or politically undesirable. The Holocaust involved a range of horrifying actions, including the forced relocation of Jews into ghettos, the establishment of concentration camps where people were imprisoned, tortured, and killed, and the implementation of a genocidal plan known as the "Final Solution" to exterminate Jews entirely.
