    During World War II, the Holocaust led to the systematic murder of six million Jews and five million others by Nazi Germany. The document details how Hitler and Nazis viewed Aryans as the master race and launched the Holocaust against Jews and others. It describes key events such as the Nuremberg Laws stripping Jews of rights, Kristallnacht attacking Jewish homes and synagogues, and the establishment of ghettos and concentration camps to isolate and kill Jews. The "Final Solution" was Hitler's plan for genocide, which began with mass shootings and ended with highly efficient extermination camps where most were killed immediately.
