Genocide is considered to be the most serious crime against humanity that can be committed.
It is the mass extermination of a whole group of people, an attempt to drive them out of existence.
There have been numerous cases of genocide in history.
Also called “Shoah”, was the systematic persecution of Jews by the Nazis and their allies, before and during the Second World War. During the domination by Nazi Germany, between 5 and 6 million European Jews were exterminated. The murders took place mostly in the gas chambers of the extermination camps and by mass executions of the Einsatz groups.
