We’ve compiled a guide to the essential concepts and events every person needs to know to build a foundation in Holocaust literacy.

It evolved from mass shootings in 1941 to an industrial-scale operation in extermination camps that ultimately murdered approximately six million Jews. Watch the full reel to hear our complete explanation, and follow along as we unpack further crucial fundamentals in Holocaust history.
