Answer 1

The Holocaust refers to the systematic genocide of approximately six million Jews, as well as millions of others, including Romani people, disabled individuals, and political dissidents, orchestrated by the Nazi regime during World War II from 1941 to 1945. This horrific episode in history involved mass killings, forced labor, and inhumane conditions in concentration and extermination camps. To conceal their atrocities, the Nazis employed various tactics, including the use of euphemistic language to describe their actions, such as referring to extermination camps as "relocation centers." They also destroyed evidence of their crimes, such as mass graves, and restricted information about concentration camps to prevent the outside world from fully understanding the scale of the atrocities taking place.
