The holocaust stands for the largest genocide of history. It describes a period of systematic killing of the Jews, who were considered ‘inferior’ by the Nazis. Starting from 1933 they were targeted and were denied basic rights. With the start of the Second World War, they were settled in ghettos, which were special areas marked for them or were deported to the concentration camps (CC). Many died through forced labour and malnutrition or were killed by the guards of these camps. After 1942 seven ‘death camps’ were established in Poland and Belarus, like the ones in Auschwitz, where the Jews were killed in gas chambers.
