It ended in 1945 when the Nazi’s were defeated by the Allied powers. “Holocaust,” originally from the Greek word “holokauston” which means “sacrifice by fire,” refers to the Nazi’s persecution and planned slaughter of the Jewish people. It was estimated that 11 million people were killed during the Holocaust in which 6 million of these were Jewish (2/3 of all Jews living in Europe at the time).

    The Holocaust was a genocide in which Adolf Hitler, ruler of the Nazi party, and his associates conducted the mass murder of over six million Jews. Nazi Germany under the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler was responsible for the brutal, inhuman slaughter of the Jews from 1933 to 1945.
