The Holocaust was a systematic genocide of approximately 6 million European Jews and millions of others by Nazi Germany between 1933-1945. Key events included the Nuremberg Laws stripping Jews of citizenship, Kristallnacht resulting in mass arrests and violence against Jews, establishment of ghettos and concentration/death camps, and the 1942 Wannsee Conference formalizing the "Final Solution" of industrialized mass murder. The Holocaust demonstrated how racism, eugenics and state power can enable industrialized genocide on a massive scale.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade-unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade-unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me And there was no one left to speak for me. - Reverend Martin Niemoller

Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor Firm in the knowledge that the purity of German blood is the basis for the survival of the German people and inspired by the unshakable determination to safeguard the future of the German nation, the Reichstag has unanimously resolved upon the following law, which is promulgated herewith: Section 1: Marriages between Jews and citizens of German or some related blood are forbidden. Such marriages contracted despite the law are invalid, even if they take place abroad in order to avoid the law. Section 2: Sexual relations outside marriage between Jews and citizens of German or related blood are forbidden. Section 3: Jews will not be permitted to employ female citizens of German or related blood who are under 45 years as housekeepers. Section 4: 1. Jews are forbidden to raise the national flag or display the national colors. 2. However, they are allowed to display the Jewish colors. The exercise of this right is protected by the state. In the subsequent clarifying regulation of Nov. 14, 1935, a Jew is defined as anyone who was descended from : (a) at least three racially full Jewish grandparents or (b) two full Jewish parents if he or she belonged to the Jewish religious community ( i.e.an observing Jew); was married to a Jewish person ; was the offspring of a full Jew (as defined in a.) or the offspring of an extramarital relationship with a full Jew. Neither could a Jew be a citizen of the Reich, vote or hold public office.
