•The term "Holocaust," originally from the Greek word "holokauston" which means "sacrifice by fire," refers to the Nazi's persecution and planned slaughter of the Jewish people. •In addition to Jews, the Nazis targeted Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and the disabled for persecution. Anyone who resisted the Nazis was sent to forced labor or murdered. •The term "Nazi" is an acronym for "Nationalsozialistishe Deutsche Arbeiterpartei" ("National Socialist German Worker's Party"). •The Nazis used the term "the Final Solution" to refer to their plan to murder the Jewish people. •It is estimated that 11 million people were killed during the Holocaust. Six million of these were Jews. •The Nazis killed approximately two-thirds of all Jews living in Europe. •An estimated 1.1 million children were murdered in the Holocaust.
