What is the Holocaust?

The Holocaust was the killing of the European Jews during World War II, which lasted for about five years between 1941 and 1945.

During the period, the Nazi Germany and its allies systematically killed about six million Jews across the German-occupied European territory, about two-thirds of European's Jewish population.

The ambassador alleged that Hamas is a terror group with the aim of wiping out the Israelis but vowed that every one of them would be terminated by his country.
