What Was the Holocaust?😱
Jews were prohibited from farming land.
Anti-Semitism was a strong force in many Eastern European countries,
including Germany.
The Holocaust was the systematic, state-run murder by the Nazis of
people they considered to be undesirable for their ideal state.

Germany and ended in 1945 after Germany surrendered from World War II.
When Hitler gained control of the German state in 1933, boycotts were
instituted against Jewish businesses and stores.

Other Genocides During the 20th :star: Century :question:
ARMENIA
During World War I, the Ottomans (primarily Muslims) feared that
Armenians supported the Russians, an enemy of the Ottoman Empire. Why the concern?
Most Armenians were Christian, so the Ottomans thought they held an allegiance with
Russian Christians. 
UKRAIN
During the late 1920s, the Soviet Union began a policy called
"collectivization." This plan involved taking over privately owned farms and
combining them into huge, state-run farms. The farmers in the Ukraine proved to be
resistant to this policy.![image](attached://46df903e9bd52ddfde15909e01c4975b
