The document summarizes the persecution and genocide of Jews by Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945. It describes how Jews were stripped of citizenship and civil rights through laws like the Nuremberg Laws. The Nazi regime established concentration camps and later extermination camps where they systematically murdered millions of European Jews using gas chambers and other means. Major events of the Holocaust included the Wannsee Conference which coordinated the Final Solution, and the liberation of camps like Auschwitz by Allied forces towards the end of World War 2. In total, the Nazi regime was responsible for the deaths of between 9 to 11 million people.
