Explanation:

Holocaust was a systematic extermination of Jews in all German-dominated regions of Europe in Nazi concentration camps by Adolf Hitler during World War II (1939-1945).

Jewish hatred, or anti-Semitism, in Europe has its origins in the Middle Ages, but in Germany anti-Semitic discourse gained momentum from the nineteenth century. With the end of World War I and the economic crisis in the Weimar Republic (1918-1933), the political speech of the Austrian Adolf Hitler, leader of Nazism, gained ground from the 1920s.

Once in power, Hitler used every possible tool to prosecute Jews: from the indoctrination of young Germans to the creation of forced labor camps and the performance of pogroms - violent acts concentrated against a group.
