The Holocaust: Difference between revisions

'''The Holocaust''' was the genocide of the Jewish people carried out during World War II, in which approximately six million Jews were murdered Al [[Kiddush Hashem]] (sanctifying G-d's name). The Holocaust began in [[Elul]] [[5699]] (1939) and ended in early spring [[5705]] (1945) with the defeat of Nazi [[Germany]] in the war. Thousands of Chabad chassidim perished in the Holocaust, and afterward, most of the chassidim left the [[Soviet Union]] through Lvov and arrived at displaced persons camps throughout [[Europe]]. Most chassidim stayed in the [[Pocking camp]] in Germany, and from there, under the guidance of the [[Frierdiker Rebbe]], they continued on to [[Eretz HaKodesh]], the [[United States]], and other locations.
