Just please, stop using the word Holocaust if you don't know what it was. I just don't get the fad of comparing things to Holocaust, it just shows complete lack of sensitivity or knowledge of history.
My grandparents lived through German occupation of Poland. You would not want to live in a world where invaders can and do liberally stop you for whatever reason or no reason at all and shoot just for fun.
Poland lost about 3M ethnic Poles out of something like 24M population, just to German and Soviet occupation, most of them murdered in cold blood, not due to war action.
At least if you were Pole you could keep your head down and maybe live through the war.
Holocaust was 1000 times worse than that.
It was targeted, merciless action to wipe out an entire nation. 100% of it. You would be hunted like an animal. Worse than that, if anybody tried to help you they and their families would also be punished by death.
