Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime were responsible for the systematic murder of approximately six million Jewish men, women, and children during the Holocaust. This genocide, known as the Holocaust or Shoah, took place from 1941 to 1945 across German-occupied Europe. The killings were carried out through various methods, primarily poison gas in extermination camps such as Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, and Chełmno, as well as mass shootings, starvation, forced labor, and other acts of violence
. The six million Jewish victims represent about two-thirds of the Jewish population in Europe at that time. The Nazis also murdered millions of non- Jewish civilians and prisoners of war, but the figure specifically for Jewish victims is around six million
. In summary, Hitler's regime killed approximately six million Jews during the Holocaust.
