The Diary of Anne Frank Curriculum
The Holocaust was a watershed event in human history that involved millions of people across the globe. Read part of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s definition below.
THE HOLOCAUST was the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its allies and collaborators. The Nazis came to power in Germany in January 1933. They believed that the Germans belonged to a race that was “superior” to all others. They claimed that the Jews belonged to a race that was “inferior” and a threat to the so-called German racial community.
By 1945, the Germans and their allies and collaborators killed nearly two out of every three European Jews as part of the “Final Solution.” The “Final Solution” was the Nazi policy to murder the Jews of Europe.
