The Holocaust , also referred to as the Shoah,[b] was a genocide during World War II in which Adolf
Hitler's Nazi Germany, aided by its collaborators, systematically murdered some six million European
Jews, around two-thirds of the Jewish population of Europe.[5][c] From 1 941 to 1 945, Germany targeted
European Jewry for extermination as part of a larger event that included the persecution and murder of
other groups. A broader definition of the Holocaust includes the murder of the Roma and the "incurably
sick".[7] A broader definition still includes ethnic Poles, other Slavic groups, Soviet citizens and prisoners
of war, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, black people, and political opponents.
