The Holocaust, the systematic persecution and extermination of Jews and other groups by Nazi Germany, is often marked by key events in the late 1930s and early 1940s.
- **1938**: This year saw increased anti-Jewish measures, including the Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass) on November 9-10, which involved widespread violence against Jews and the destruction of their businesses and synagogues. However, the major systematic extermination efforts began later.
- **1941**: In June 1941, Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union. Following this invasion, mass shootings of Jews by Einsatzgruppen (mobile killing units) began, leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands.
- **1942**: The Holocaust escalated dramatically with the implementation of the "Final Solution." The Wannsee Conference in January 1942 coordinated the systematic deportation and extermination of Jews in concentration and extermination camps, leading to the establishment of camps like Auschwitz as centers of mass murder.
Therefore, while the groundwork for the Holocaust was laid in 1938, the systematic extermination primarily began in earnest in 1942.
