The Holocaust
The Holocaust, sometimes called The Shoah (), was a genocide in which Nazi Germany systematically killed mainly Jews during World War II.  six million Jews were killed, as well as five million others that the Nazis claimed were inferior (mainly Slavs, communists, Roma people, disabled people, homosexuals, and Jehovah's Witnesses). These people were rounded up, put in ghettos, forced to work in concentration camps, and then killed in gas chambers.
