Holocaust in Europe during World War Two
This map illustrates the scale and scope of the Holocaust in Europe during World War II, a systematic, state-organized persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews, alongside millions of other victims, by Nazi Germany and its collaborators. This genocide was orchestrated through a vast network of extermination camps, concentration camps, ghettos, mobile killing units (Einsatzgruppen), and euthanasia centers under the Aktion T4 program. The killing sites ranged from industrialized extermination camps like Auschwitz and Treblinka to mass shooting sites such as Babi Yar and Ponary.
Victims included Jews, Romani people, disabled individuals, Soviet POWs, political dissidents, and other groups deemed "undesirable" by the Nazi regime. The Holocaust stands as a grim reminder of the scale of human suffering made possible through bureaucracy, propaganda, and widespread complicity.
