Answer:

The Holocaust was 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 - six million were murdered. Roma (Gypsies), physically and mentally disabled people and Poles were also targeted for destruction or decimation for racial, ethnic, or national reasons. Millions more, including homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Soviet prisoners of war, and political dissidents also suffered grievous oppression and death under Nazi tyranny.

World War 2 mostly happened because the Germans lost world War 1. The Germans blamed their lost on the Jewish people in their country, the homosexuals, and people with disabilities. The leaders of Germany thought it was a good idea to terminate those people from the country to stop futher lost during wars. And because the rest of the world had their options on that WWII started

Hopefully that helped!!
