When some refers to the holocaust, they are talking about the mass genocide of Jewish people in Europe by the Nazi regime. The holocaust started in the sense of genocide began in 1941. But before that, they put Jews in these Ghettos, which wear basically these small “towns” that in most cases would be surrounded by barbed wire and constantly under super vision of the Nazi’s. The Jewish people in these ghettos, were treated like dirt. They would instantly kill any Jewish person that tried to oppose them. But eventually Reinhard Heyrich 
(Man appointed by Hitler to eliminate all the Jews in Europe.) realized that it was taking too long, so instead they sent all the Jewish people to these death camps that were located in Poland. These death camps were horrible; they would kill all of the weak (such as pregnant woman, the elderly, and kids.) then they would put all of the men to work. They would work them to death.
Two out of every three Jewish people living in Europe were killed. But the Jewish people weren’t the only people targeted there were also other political opponents, members of resistance groups, homosexuals, dissenting Christians, Gypsies, the physically handicapped and mentally retarded, Soviet prisoners of war, Jehovah's Witnesses, anti-Nazi clergy, trade unionists, and psychiatric patients.
How did all of this start? There are a lot of beliefs to why Hitler decided to target the Jewish people, the most popular one is that Hitler was rejected twice to Vienna's Academy of Fine Arts as well as many other problems in his life. But the excuse he used was that he was getting back at the Jewish people because of the assassination of a German official. Before the Holocaust began all Jewish people were forced out of Germany, and had no were to go. One Jewish kid, who was still a teenager, was fed up with the Nazi regime so he decided to killed a Nazi official. Which started the “Night of Broken Glass” In two days, over 250 synagogues were burned, over 7,000 Jewish businesses were trashed and looted, dozens of Jewish people were killed, and Jewish cemeteries, hospitals, schools, and homes were looted while police and fire brigades stood by. After that he used the teenager as an excuse to kill 6 million Jewish people.
