You should research. Go to the library, read books, watch a movie, or see if there is anything about it on the history channel.
You should read the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel. It's a good book & was written by him. It talks about what happened to him & his family. It tells you about what it was like being sepreated from his family & the struggles he faced in order to survive living in the concentration camps.
Jews weren't just the people killed. Thre were gays, elderly, and people who where handicapped aswell. And people who weren't blonde hair, blue eyed etc...

Holocaust which is a Greek word meaning "Completely Burnt" (sacrificial offering to God) now used as the word for extermination of Jews by Nazis during the World War II. The shameful act of genocide and extermination of one ethnic community by another in the name of racial supremacy is a blot in the history of Human race. To know more about this unfortunate happenings you have to read the books on World war II and other research material on Holocaust available in the Net and Libraries.

more specific please? a several year long effort by Nazi Germany to exterminate the European Jewish population during WWII. Also included the Gypsy population and anyone they considered not of pure Aryan blood. try the Holocaust museum website or go there (it's in D.C.). or there are tons of books on it. and probably websites too.

Hitler led the Nazi party to power in Germany. He goes on an army rampage, slaughtering all who do not have blonde hair and blue eyes (qualities he himself did not have) and killing Jews.
But try Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust

You don't want to know!
But since you asked, it was the period of time back in the late 30s through mid-40s that Hitler attempted to gather up all the Jews in order to have them exterminated. He killed millions.
And contrary to the Iranian dickwad who claims to believe otherwise, IT HAPPENNED.

Wikipedia or your local library can. There is far too much tragedy to just type it out on yahoo answers.
