1933 – 1945
During World War II, the Holocaust was a genocide during which six million Jews and other minorities were systematically murdered by the Nazis. This horrific event involved mass deportations, ghettos, concentration camps, and extermination camps like Auschwitz. Besides the Holocaust, Jewish people experienced severe persecution, forced labor, and displacement. Some found refuge through resistance movements or were hidden by brave allies.
