The Holocaust
The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, was the World War II genocide of the European Jews. Between 1941 and 1945, across German-occupied Europe, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews, around two-thirds of Europe’s Jewish population.
During his general audience Jan. 27, Pope Francis marked Holocaust Remembrance Day and cautioned against modern trends that, if left unchecked, could lead down the same path.
