Who died in the Holocaust?


     Holocaust means the Nazi Party led by Adolf Hitler during World War II deliberately massacred about 11 million civilians and prisoners of war, including Jews and Slavs, Gypsies, homosexuals, the disabled and political prisoners, throughout the German Empire and the occupied German army. Of the dead, about 6 million Jews were killed, about two-thirds of the 9 million Jews living in Europe at the time. About 1 million Jewish children are believed to have died, and about 2 million women and 3 million men are believed to have died. Jews and other victims were detained and killed in mass detention at about 40,000 facilities across Germany and in occupied areas. The Nazi Party highly valued the purity of the superior Germanic nation by mobilizing national power to win the support of the people with extreme right-wing nationalism and using the theory of racism based on eugenics. And for the purity of the Germanic people, Jews and other non-German people were slaughtered, saying that Jews and blood should not be mixed. And at this point, the Jews were the most slaughtered.
