History of Europe

What is an example of anti- semitism during World War 2?

The Holocaust: During World War II, the Nazis implemented a systematic plan to exterminate the Jewish population of Europe. This event, known as the Holocaust, resulted in the deaths of approximately six million Jews. The Nazis carried out the Holocaust through various means, including mass shootings, gas chambers, and deliberate starvation. The anti-Semitism that fueled the Holocaust was deeply rooted in Nazi ideology, which regarded Jews as inferior and a threat to the Aryan race.
