The term Holocaust refers to the genocide of approximately six million Jews by the Nazis in World War II. Other people considered 'undesirable' by the Nazis, such as the disabled, those who dissented the Nazi policies, ethnic Poles and Slavic people, and gay men, were also exterminated, bring the death toll to estimates of 9 to 11 million. The word holocaust is from the Greek holos (completely) and kaustos (burnt).

“In Germany, first they came for the communists and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics and I did not speak out - because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me.”
Pastor Martin Niemoeller.

Elie Wiesel
b. 9-30-1928, Sighet, Transylvania
Elie Wiesel, writer, professor, and Holocaust survivor, was awarded the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize as "a messenger to mankind; his message is one of peace, atonement and human dignity. His belief that the forces fighting evil in the world can be victorious is a hard-won belief. His message is based on his own personal experience of total humiliation and of the utter contempt for humanity shown in Hitler's death camps. The message is in the form of a testimony, repeated and deepened through the works of a great author."

“Here, O Lord, the Eternal One is our God, the Eternal God alone, You shall love your Eternal God with all your heart, and with all your mind, with all your being.” Deuteronomy 6:4-6
. . . Throughout their history, Jews have endured persecution. In 586 B.C., the Jewish temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by the Babylonians, and many Jews were exiled from their homeland. During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, European Jews face anti-Semitism – prejudice against people of the Jewish faith – from the predominantly Christian European population. And during World War II, more than six million Jews were murdered by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis in the Holocaust. . . .

Badges of Hate
Jews were ordered to wear a cloth patch in the shape of the Star of David by the Reich in the onset of World War II. There is a long history of forcing identifying marks or clothing on those who did not belong to the ruling class.
