Zweiter Weltkrieg in Europa
Der Holocaust fand nahezu zeitgleich mit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg statt. Der Zweite Weltkrieg war der größte und zerstörerischste Konflikt der Geschichte. Adolf Hitler und das NS-Regime verfolgten eine Version von einem weitläufiges neues Reich, das den Deutschen als „Lebensraum“ dienen sollte. Dafür sollte die bestehende Bevölkerung in Osteuropa weichen. Die nationalsozialistische Vorstellung einer gestärkten deutschen „Herrenrasse“ führte zur Verfolgung und Ermordung von Juden und vielen anderen Menschen.
