Answer:

The Holocaust is a term commonly used to describe the genocide perpetrated against Jews by Germany during World War II. Gypsies, Poles, Ukrainians, Belarusians and Russians also suffered in World War II. The number of Jews killed during the Holocaust varies from 4.2 million to 6.2 million.

Today, the Holocaust is considered the worst aberration in history in terms of human rights violations, as well as an example of what should not be done and the limit to which humanity can reach if it does not limit the development of totalitarian regimes.
