The Holocaust refers to the state-sponsored annihilation of European Jews by the Nazi state and its allies in the period before and during the Second World War (1932-45). Approximately 6 million Jews perished and were the main victims. The Nazis also targeted Gypsies, homosexuals, Slavs and political dissidents. The traumatic events of the Holocaust utterly scarred and shaped the history and politics of the 21st century. The need to remember and commemorate the events is indisputable.
