After WW1 in Germany
The years that followed saw the continent struggle to recover from the death or injury of tens of millions of soldiers and civilians, as well as catastrophic damage to property and industry. In 1933, over 9 million Jews lived in Europe (1.7% of the total population)—working and raising families in the harsh reality of the worldwide economic depression. German Jews numbered about 500,000 or less than 1% of the national population.https://www.ushmm.org/learn/timeline-of-events/before-1933 -

Germany 1939-1941
The Holocaust took place in the broader context of World War II. On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland. Over the next year, Nazi Germany and its allies conquered much of Europe. German officials confiscated Jewish property, in many places required Jews to wear identifying armbands, and established ghettos and forced-labor camps. In June 1941, Germany turned on its ally, the Soviet Union. Gas vans also appeared on the eastern front in late fall 1941. -

Germany 1942-1945
In a period marked by intense fighting on both the eastern and western fronts of World War II, Nazi Germany also intensified its pursuit of the “Final Solution.” These years saw systematic deportations of millions of Jews to increasingly efficient killing centers using poison gas. By the end of the war in spring 1945, as the Germans and their Axis partners were pushed back on both fronts, Allied troops uncovered the full extent of crimes committed during the Holocaust. -
After 1945
Germans and their collaborators had murdered six million European Jews as part of a systematic plan of genocide the Holocaust. When Allied troops entered the concentration camps, they discovered piles of corpses, bones, and human ashes due toNazi mass murder. Soldiers also found thousands of survivors Jews and non-Jews suffering from starvation and disease. With few possibilities for emigration, tens of thousands of homeless Holocaust survivors were housed in displaced persons camps.
