Well, the Nazis did the holocaust. They exterminated six million Jews, plus thousands of Russians, Poles, Italians, French, comunists, Catholic priests, and practically anybody else.
They were an equal extermination opportunity guys. No discrimination. They killed everybody for more than six years.
They used first the shooting squads, but it was too clumsy.
Therefore, they created the extermination camps, like Auschwitz, where two million people were eliminated.
Here, the main device were the gas chambers. They invented toxic gases, called Cyclon 1, 2, etc, which they pour into the chambers and everybody died.
Women, children, elderly
Adolf Eichmann, hitler's principal collaborator, and Ernest Kaltenbrunner ( second of the Gestapo ) did all they could to keep sending the jews up to the end of the war to be exterminated
Had not been stopped, Europe would be inhabited now only by Germans
