o, you don't wanna know that. but if you say so...
The Holocaust is the term generally used to describe the killing of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, as part of a program of deliberate extermination planned and executed by the Nazi regime in Germany led by Adolf Hitler. [1] Other groups were also persecuted and killed by the regime, including 220,000 Sinti and Roma in the Great Devouring, the Porajmos. Earlier, disabled people were killed for eugenic reasons in Action T4. Other victims were homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Soviet POWs, Polish citizens, and political prisoners. [2][3] Taking into account all the victims of Nazi persecution, the death toll rises considerably; estimates generally place the total number of victims at nine to 11 million.[4]
Many scholars do not include these other groups in the definition of the Holocaust, defining it solely as the genocide of the Jews, or what the Nazis called the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question" ("Die Endlösung der Judenfrage"). This was accomplished in stages. Legislation to remove the victims from civil society was put in place before the outbreak of World War II. Where the Third Reich conquered new territory in eastern Europe and Russia, specialised units, the Einsatzgruppen, murdered Jews and political opponents by shooting. Ghettos were established to concentrate and contain the victims before their destruction. Finally, the machinery of the state was used to kill Jews and others in extermination camps. In western European countries occupied by the Nazis, Jews were interned before being deported to the death camps.

I'm not really sure what you're looking for, but millions of people were systematically executed.
5-6 million Jews, up to 2 million Poles, somewhere between a couple hundred thousand and a million gypsies, 200,000+ people with disabilities, 100,000 communists, up to 25,000 gay men, and up to 5,000 Jehovah's witnesses were killed.
I also know that over 3 1/2 million Slavs, over 2 1/2 million Soviets (POWs), and over a million other political "dissidents" were killed, but not systematically, so it is generally not considered part of the attempted genocide.
Definitely Google it - there is tons of info out there.
