Armenian Genocide is not a phrase connected with WW2, but relates to a genocide of Armenian peoples committed by the Ottoman Empire in 1915
Einstazgruppen were elite (if that is the right word) of the SS dealing with mass killings and extermination)
Josef Mengele was a Nazi doctor infamous for medical tests on those who could not object and who were often awake whilst he carried out the most horrific experiments
Oskar Schindler was a German industrialist who was horrified by what was happening to the Jews. He had numbers working for him whom he helped escape from the Final Soultion exterminations
Sobibor was the name of a concentration camp

Information regarding British decorations awarded in War not quite correct in previous statement. The George Cross was only given to civilians not military personnel for extreme bravery. The Island of Malta was awarded the George Cross by King George VI for the people's bravery in withstanding Germany tyranny. The DCM was a British RAF decoration not a US one.

I really don't know where tooke12 is getting his information.
Armenian Genocide refers to the systematic slaughter, of the Christian population living in the Ottoman Empire. But it was in WW1
I'm not sure about the rest...
