“The Holocaust”
More than fifty years have passed since the end of the Second World War and the Holocaust, yet the events of this time continue to be of great significance to people the world over. What was the Holocaust? The Holocaust was the murder of approximately six million Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators. ... Because Nazi discrimination against the Jews began with Hitlers accession to power in January 1933, many historians consider this the start of the Holocaust era. ... Is the Holocaust a singular event in history? There are other historical events similar to the Holocaust, but the Holocaust has characteristics that, in the opinion of many scholars, make it unique. ... However, the Holocaust may be considered unique for two main reasons: 1) unlike their policies toward other groups, the Nazis sought to murder every Jew everywhere, regardless of age, gender, beliefs, or actions, and they invoked a modern government bureaucracy to accomplish their goal; and 2) the Nazi leadership held that ridding the world of the Jewish presence would be beneficial to the German people and all mankind, although in reality the Jews posed no threat.
