The Holocaust was the systematic mass slaughter of Jews and other groups judged inferior by the Nazis. The leader of Germany at the time was Adolf Hitler. He gathered Jews into over-crowded ghettos (segregated Jewish areas). The Nazis did this hoping the Jews would starve to death or die of disease. When Hitler believed this was taking too long, he decided to take a more direct option, known as the "Final Solution" or as the "Genocide" (the systematic killing of an entire people). After the holocaust, they calculated a total of six million European Jews dead from the camps and Nazi massacres and less than four million Jews had survived. Those who had survived from the camps were permanently changed after what they had experienced. The holocaust was a terrible slaughtering that took place during World War II.
