The systematic genocide practiced by the Nazis led by Hitler is known as the Holocaust. The starting date of the Holocaust, which in ancient Greek means “completely burned”, “reduced to ashes”, is accepted as 1933, the year Hitler came to power in Germany, rather than 1939, the year the war and the killing began. This is because Hitler and the Nazis began to implement their plan, which they called the Final Solution, as soon as they came to power in 1933, in which they would systematically destroy the lives of 11 million people step by step. The Holocaust, one of the shameful pages of human history, was carried out in cold blood by the Nazis with all the means of modern technology, industry and reason.
