Define the term “Holocaust”
The state-sponsored, systematic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945. Jews were the primary victims– 6 million were murdered; Gypsies, handicapped, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Poles, Soviet prisoners of war, and homosexuals also suffered grievous oppression and death.
