Since ancient times, the Jews have been highly persecuted by Egyptians, Romans, and Christians alike.  But few genocides have been as sweeping or well-documented as the the Nazi Holocaust, Adolf Hitler’s “final solution to the Jewish question.” 

It is important to understand the socioeconomic state of Germany in the years following World War One; the country had acquired a massive debt, and forced war reparations utterly destroyed their economy.  Inflation was so bad that normal families’ entire life savings were depleted on few loaves of bread. 

In the midst of this chaos, Hitler preached his message of hate, using the Jews as the scapegoat for Germany’s fall from grace.  The rest is etched into history; the Jews were herded into ghettos, and eventually shuttled in train cars to concentration camps, where they were murdered and tortured in the most inconceivable fashion.  By 1945, when the camps were liberated, at least six million Jews had been killed. -- http://listverse.com/
