Where did the Holocaust occur?

Question

What countries in Europe was the Holocaust mainly based in. The countries where the major events occured?

Answer 1

http://www.ushmm.org/ is a good website on teh holocaust
this is from the wikipedia entry
The slaughter was systematically conducted in virtually all areas of Nazi-occupied territory in what are now 35 separate European countries.[15] It was at its worst in Central and Eastern Europe, which had more than seven million Jews in 1939. About five million Jews were killed there, including three million in occupied Poland, and over one million in the Soviet Union. Hundreds of thousands also died in the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Yugoslavia, and Greece. The Wannsee Protocol makes clear that the Nazis also intended to carry out their "final solution of the Jewish question" in Britain and Ireland.[16]

Answer 2

Germany and Poland are the big two. When people talk about the holocaust in general, that's where the events they're talking about happened.

More specifically, anywhere under Nazi occupation, and to a far lesser extent Italian or early Russian occupation. Any place that was controlled for any length of time by the Axis powers likely has at least trace history in relation to the holocaust.

Generally though, Germany and Poland. They were the site of the vast majority and the major concentration camps, and obviously Germany was the home of the members of the Nazi party that orchestrated and carried out the holocaust.

Answer 3

The high volume death/crematoria complex was in Poland. Germany had many concentration camps, but the holocaust stretched from France, Hungary, the Ukraine, Italy and other occupied countries....they were the 'feeder' countries for the death complex at Auwschwitz-Berkinau and other death camps.

Answer 4

Throughout Germany, Poland, and other occupied countries.
