The Shoah

The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. Six million Jews, or roughly two-thirds of the Jewish population in Europe, were systematically murdered by Nazi Germany and its allies between 1941 and 1945. Arguably the most significant genocide in human history, the Holocaust is one of the most notably tragic events of the 20th century. The “Führer” of Germany, Adolf Hitler, believed that the Ayrinans were the superior race and embarked on a conquest to “purify” and take over the world.
